[PATCH RESEND] rtsx_usb_ms: Use msleep_interruptible() in polling loop

$
0
0
rtsx_usb_ms creates a task that mostly sleeps, but tasks in
uninterruptible sleep still contribute to the load average (for
bug-compatibility with Unix). A load average of ~1 on a system that
should be idle is somewhat alarming.

Change the sleep to be interruptible, but still ignore signals.

A better fix might be to replace this loop with a delayed work item.
