sfc: Fix timekeeping in efx_mcdi_poll()
efx_mcdi_poll() uses get_seconds() to read the current time and to
implement a polling timeout. The use of this function was chosen
partly because it could easily be replaced in a co-sim environment
with a macro that read the simulated time.
Unfortunately the real get_seconds() returns the system time (real
time) which is subject to adjustment by e.g. ntpd. If the system time
is adjusted forward during a polled MCDI operation, the effective
timeout can be shorter than the intended 10 seconds, resulting in a
spurious failure. It is also possible for a backward adjustment to
delay detection of a areal failure.
Use jiffies instead, and change MCDI_RPC_TIMEOUT to be denominated in
jiffies. Also correct rounding of the timeout: check time > finish
(or rather time_after(time, finish)) and not time >= finish.
