It is OK to sleep in qed_dmae_operation_wait, because it is called only
in process context, while holding p_hwfn->dmae_info.mutex from one of
the qed_dmae_{host,grc}2{host,grc} functions.
The udelay(DMAE_MIN_WAIT_TIME=2) in the function is too short to replace
with usleep_range, but at least it's a suitable point for checking if we
should give up the CPU with cond_resched().

This lowers the latency caused by 'ethtool -d' from 10 ms to less than
2 ms on my test system with voluntary preemption.
