[Intel-wired-lan] [PATCH] net: intel: e1000e: fix possible sleep-in-atomic-context bugs in e1000e_get_hw_semaphore()

The driver may sleep while holding a spinlock.
The function call path (from bottom to top) in Linux 4.19 is:

drivers/net/ethernet/intel/e1000e/mac.c, 1366: 
	usleep_range in e1000e_get_hw_semaphore
drivers/net/ethernet/intel/e1000e/80003es2lan.c, 322:

drivers/net/ethernet/intel/e1000e/netdev.c, 4883: 
	(FUNC_PTR) e1000_release_phy_80003es2lan in e1000e_update_phy_stats
drivers/net/ethernet/intel/e1000e/netdev.c, 4917:
	e1000e_update_phy_stats in e1000e_update_stats
drivers/net/ethernet/intel/e1000e/netdev.c, 5945: 
	e1000e_update_stats in e1000e_get_stats64
drivers/net/ethernet/intel/e1000e/netdev.c, 5944: 
	spin_lock in e1000e_get_stats64

drivers/net/ethernet/intel/e1000e/mac.c, 1384: 
	usleep_range in e1000e_get_hw_semaphore
drivers/net/ethernet/intel/e1000e/80003es2lan.c, 322:
	e1000e_get_hw_semaphore in e1000_release_swfw_sync_80003es2lan
drivers/net/ethernet/intel/e1000e/80003es2lan.c, 197:
	e1000_release_swfw_sync_80003es2lan in e1000_release_phy_80003es2lan
drivers/net/ethernet/intel/e1000e/netdev.c, 4883: 
	(FUNC_PTR) e1000_release_phy_80003es2lan in e1000e_update_phy_stats
drivers/net/ethernet/intel/e1000e/netdev.c, 4917:
	e1000e_update_phy_stats in e1000e_update_stats
drivers/net/ethernet/intel/e1000e/netdev.c, 5945: 
	e1000e_update_stats in e1000e_get_stats64
drivers/net/ethernet/intel/e1000e/netdev.c, 5944: 
	spin_lock in e1000e_get_stats64

(FUNC_PTR) means a function pointer is called.

To fix these bugs, usleep_range() is replaced with udelay().

These bugs are found by a static analysis tool STCheck written by myself.
