Currently the wait_for_atomic_us only allows for a millisecond
granularity which is not nice towards callers requesting small
micro-second waits.

Re-implement it so micro-second granularity is really supported
and not just in the name of the macro.

Danger - this might break things which currently work by accident!

Hmm, by virtue of its name (and original intent), we are expected to be
in an atomic context and could just do a BUG_ON(!in_atomic()) to catch
misuse. Since the removal of the panic modeset, all callers outside of
intel_uncore.c are definitely abusing this and we would be better to use
a usleep[_range]() variant instead.

I considered a WARN_ON_ONCE and a BUILD_BUG_ON for very long waits but chickened out on both.

I'll respin with a WARN_ON_ONCE(!in_atomic)) to start with.

Regards,

Tvrtko
