alpha: add a delay to inb_p, inb_w and inb_l

The patch 92d7223a74235054f2aa7227d207d9c57f84dca0 ("alpha: io: reorder
barriers to guarantee writeX() and iowriteX() ordering #2") broke boot on
the Alpha Avanti platform.

The patch changes timing between accesses to the ISA bus, in particular,
it reduces the time between "write" access and a subsequent "read" access.

This causes lock-up when accessing the real time clock and serial ports.

This patch fixes the real time clock by adding a small delay to the inb_p,
inw_p and inl_p macros. Note that we don't have to add a delay before
outb_p, outw_p and outl_p, because there is already a "mb()" instruction
before them and this instruction slows down access sufficiently.
