====================
timer: add fsleep for flexible sleeping

Sleeping for a certain amount of time requires use of different
functions, depending on the time period.
Documentation/timers/timers-howto.rst explains when to use which
function, and also checkpatch checks for some potentially
problematic cases.

So let's create a helper that automatically chooses the appropriate
sleep function -> fsleep(), for flexible sleeping
Not sure why such a helper doesn't exist yet, or where the pitfall is,
because it's a quite obvious idea.

If the delay is a constant, then the compiler should be able to ensure
that the new helper doesn't create overhead. If the delay is not
constant, then the new helper can save some code.

First user is the r8169 network driver. If nothing speaks against it,
then this series could go through the netdev tree.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
