timer: add fsleep for flexible sleeping
Sleeping for a certain amount of time requires use of different functions, depending on the time period. Documentation/timers/timers-howto.rst explains when to use which function, and also checkpatch checks for some potentially problematic cases. So let's create a helper that automatically chooses the appropriate sleep function -> fsleep(), for flexible sleeping If the delay is a constant, then the compiler should be able to ensure that the new helper doesn't create overhead. If the delay is not constant, then the new helper can save some code. Signed-off-by: Heiner Kallweit <hkallweit1@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

short, the difference is whether the sleep can be ended
early by a signal. In general, just use msleep unless
you know you have a need for the interruptible variant.
