[PATCH] net: sbni: Replace mdelay with msleep in sbni_probe1

From: Jia-Ju Bai <hidden>

sbni_probe1() is never called in atomic context.

The call chains ending up at sbni_probe1() are:
[1] sbni_probe1() <- sbni_init() <- sbni_probe() <- net_olddevs_init()
[2] sbni_probe1() <- sbni_isa_probe() <- sbni_init() <- 
	sbni_probe() <- net_olddevs_init()
[3] sbni_probe1() <- sbni_pci_probe() <- sbni_init() <- 
	sbni_probe() <- net_olddevs_init()

net_olddevs_init() is set as a parameter of device_initcall().
This function is not called in atomic context.

Despite never getting called from atomic context, sbni_probe1()
calls mdelay() to busily wait.
This is not necessary and can be replaced with msleep() to 
avoid busy waiting.

This is found by a static analysis tool named DCNS written by myself.
And I also manually check it.
