[Intel-wired-lan] [PATCH] e1000: changed some expensive calls of udelay to usleep_range

    Calls to udelay are not preemtable by userspace so userspace
    applications experience a large (~200us) latency when running on core
    0. Instead usleep_range can be used to be more friendly to userspace
    since it is preemtable. This is due to udelay using busy-wait loops
    while usleep_rang uses hrtimers instead. It is recommended to use
    udelay when the delay is <10us since at that precision overhead of
    usleep_range hrtimer setup causes issues. However, the replaced calls
    are for 50us and 100us so this should not be not an issue.
