sfc: Fix polling for slow MCDI operations
When the interface is down and we are using polled mode for MCDI operations, we busy-wait for completion for approximately 1 jiffy using udelay() and then back off to schedule(). But the completion will not wake the task, since we are using polled mode! We must use schedule_timeout_uninterruptible() instead.
