[PATCH] [RESEND] mtd: docg4: fix status polling loop

The loop that polls the status register waiting for an operation to complete
foolishly bases the timeout simply on the number of loop iterations that have
ocurred. When I increased the processor clock speed, timeouts started to appear
for long block erasure operations. This patch measures the timeout using
jiffies.

This is a rework of an earlier patch, based on Artem's recommendation to use
jiffies, not udelay() (thanks Artem). I didn't mark it 'v2' because the rework
makes the original name of the patch inaccurate, so now it has a different name.
This was originally sent a couple months ago... was probably a bad time.
