[PATCH] qla4xxx: pass timeout as HZ independent value

[PATCH] qla4xxx: pass timeout as HZ independent value

[Nicholas Mc Guire]

schedule_timeout_* takes a timeout in jiffies but the code currently is
passing in a constant which makes this timeout HZ dependent, so pass it
through msecs_to_jiffies() to fix this up.

patch was compile tested with x86_64_defconfig + SCSI_LOWLEVEL=y,
CONFIG_SCSI_QLA_ISCSI=m

Patch is against 4.1-rc5 (localversion-next is -next-20150527)

As there is no documentation of the intended timeout it might be wrong
to convert it with msecs_to_jiffies as this can reduces the actual
jiffies value by at least a factor of 10 - so someone that knows this
driver needs to check on the actual value - but in any case it needs
to be passed in a HZ independent way.
