PATCH 11/21 char/sx: replace schedule_timeout() with

Hi,

Please consider applying.

Description: Use msleep_interruptible() instead of schedule_timeout() to guarantee consistent timing regardless of HZ value. schedule_timeout(1) will vary between 10 and 1 milliseconds, depending on the value of HZ (100 or 1000 respectively). For consistent behavior, msleep_interruptible() should be used.
