[IA64] Remove needless delay in MCA rendezvous
While testing the MCA recovery code, noticed that some machines would have a
five second delay rendezvousing cpus. What was happening is that
ia64_wait_for_slaves() would check to see if all the slave CPUs had
rendezvoused. If any had not, it would wait 1 millisecond then check again.
If any CPUs had still not rendezvoused, it would wait 5 seconds before
checking again.
On some configs the rendezvous takes more than 1 millisecond, causing the code
to wait the full 5 seconds, even though the last CPU rendezvoused after only
a few milliseconds.
The fix is to check every 1 millisecond to see if all the cpus have
rendezvoused. After 5 seconds the code concludes the CPUs will never
rendezvous (same as before).
The MCA code is, by definition, not performance critical, but a needless
delay of 5 seconds is senseless. The 5 seconds also adds up quickly
when running the error injection code in a loop.
This patch both simplifies the code and removes the needless delay.
