kernel/debug/debug_core.c: more properly delay for secondary CPUs

commit 2d13bb6494c807bcf3f78af0e96c0b8615a94385 upstream.

We've got a delay loop waiting for secondary CPUs.  That loop uses
loops_per_jiffy.  However, loops_per_jiffy doesn't actually mean how
many tight loops make up a jiffy on all architectures.  It is quite
common to see things like this in the boot log:

  Calibrating delay loop (skipped), value calculated using timer
  frequency.. 48.00 BogoMIPS (lpj=24000)

In my case I was seeing lots of cases where other CPUs timed out
entering the debugger only to print their stack crawls shortly after the
kdb> prompt was written.

Elsewhere in kgdb we already use udelay(), so that should be safe enough
to use to implement our timeout.  We'll delay 1 ms for 1000 times, which
should give us a full second of delay (just like the old code wanted)
but allow us to notice that we're done every 1 ms.
