[PATCH 4/4] Checkpatch: warn about unexpectedly long msleep's

[Patrick Pannuto <ppannuto@codeaurora.org>]

As explained in Documentation/timers/delays.txt, msleep's
of < 20ms may sleep for as long as 20ms. Caller's of
msleep(1) or msleep(2), etc are likely not to expect this
quirky behavior - warn them.
