Currently, get_burstcount() function sleeps for 5msec in a loop
before retrying for next query to burstcount. However, if it takes
lesser time for TPM to return, this 5msec delay is longer
than necessary.

This patch replaces the tpm_msleep time from 5msec to 1msec.

After this change, performance on a TPM 1.2 with an 8 byte
burstcount for 1000 extends improved from ~10sec to ~9sec.

Would it make sense to squash this to 3/5 and merge the commit
messages?
Yeah.. it sounds reasonable.. both are reducing the sleep delay time for same purpose, just in different functions.

Thanks & Regards,
