    libata: consistently use msecs for time durations · 341c2c95

    libata has been using mix of jiffies and msecs for time druations.
    This is getting confusing.  As writing sub HZ values in jiffies is
    PITA and msecs_to_jiffies() can't be used as initializer, unify unit
    for all time durations to msecs.  So, durations are in msecs and
    deadlines are in jiffies.  ata_deadline() is added to compute deadline
    from a start time and duration in msecs.
    
    While at it, drop now superflous _msec suffix from arguments and
    rename @timeout to @deadline if it represents a fixed point in time
    rather than duration.
