[Kernel-janitors] [PATCH] nbd: replace schedule_timeout() with msleep()

Please find below the corrected patch, as the previous one would not
compile. Thanks.

I would appreciate any comments from the janitors list.


Applys-to: 2.6.7

Description: Uses msleep() instead of schedule_timeout() to guarantee
the task delays at least the desired time amount.
