on26_test_port() is never called from atomic context.

It has no direct callers and it is called only via function pointer 
"->test_port" that is only used in pi_probe_unit():
drivers/block/paride/paride.c:322: max = pi->proto->test_port(pi);
That gets called only from pi_init(), called from
p{d,cd,f,t,g}_detect(), called from module_init stuff, all of the above
without entering atomic context along the way.

Despite never getting called from atomic context, on26_test_port() calls
mdelay(100), i.e. busy wait for 100ms.
That is not necessary and can be replaced with msleep to avoid busy wait.

This is found by a static analysis tool named DCNS written by myself.
