qla4_82xx_idc_lock() spins on a certain hardware state until it is
updated. At the end of each spin, if in_interrupt() is true, it does 20
loops of cpu_relax(). Otherwise, it yields the CPU.

While in_interrupt() is ill-defined and does not provide what the name
suggests, it is not needed here: qla4_82xx_idc_lock() is always called
from process context. Below is an analysis of its callers:

  - ql4_nx.c: qla4_82xx_need_reset_handler(), 1-second msleep() in a
    loop.

  - ql4_nx.c: qla4_82xx_isp_reset(), calls
    qla4_8xxx_device_state_handler(), which has multiple msleep()s.

Beside direct calls, qla4_82xx_idc_lock() is also bound to
isp_operations ->idc_lock() hook. Other functions which are bound to the
same hook, e.g. qla4_83xx_drv_lock(), also have an msleep(). For
completeness, below is an analysis of all callers of that hook:

  - ql4_83xx.c: qla4_83xx_need_reset_handler(), has an msleep()

  - ql4_83xx.c: qla4_83xx_isp_reset(), calls
    qla4_8xxx_device_state_handler(), which has multiple msleep()s.

  - ql4_83xx.c: qla4_83xx_disable_pause(), all process context callers:
    => ql4_mbx.c: qla4xxx_mailbox_command(), msleep(), mutex_lock()
    => ql4_os.c: qla4xxx_recover_adapter(), schedule_timeout() in loop
    => ql4_os.c: qla4xxx_do_dpc(), workqueue context

  - ql4_attr.c: qla4_8xxx_sysfs_write_fw_dump(), sysfs bin_attribute
    ->write() hook, process context

  - ql4_mbx.c: qla4xxx_mailbox_command(), earlier discussed

  - ql4_nx.c: qla4_8xxx_device_bootstrap(), callers:
    => ql4_83xx.c: qla4_83xx_need_reset_handler(), process, msleep()
    => ql4_nx.c: qla4_8xxx_device_state_handler(), earlier discussed

  - ql4_nx.c: qla4_8xxx_need_qsnt_handler(), callers:
    => ql4_nx.c: qla4_8xxx_device_state_handler(), multipe msleep()s
    => ql4_os.c: qla4xxx_do_dpc(), workqueue context

  - ql4_nx.c: qla4_8xxx_update_idc_reg(), callers:
    => ql4_nx.c: qla4_8xxx_device_state_handler(), earlier discussed
    => ql4_os.c: qla4_8xxx_error_recovery(), only called by
    qla4xxx_pci_slot_reset(), which is bound to PCI ->slot_reset()
    process-context hook

  - ql4_nx.c: qla4_8xxx_device_state_handler(), earlier discussed

  - ql4_os.c: qla4xxx_recover_adapter(), earlier discussed

  - ql4_os.c: qla4xxx_do_dpc(), earlier discussed

Remove the in_interrupt() check. Mark, qla4_82xx_idc_lock(), and the
->idc_lock() hook itself, with "Context: task, can sleep".

Change qla4_82xx_idc_lock() implementation to sleep 100ms, instead of a
schedule(), for each spin. This is more deterministic, and it matches
other PCI HW locking functions in the driver.
