[Kernel-janitors] [PATCH 2.6.9-rc2 26/33] char/stallion: replace

Any comments would be appreciated. I'm not sure if I did the desired
thing here, as I got rid of stl_delay() completely. After the
msleep_interruptible() replacement, stli_delay() would only be used in
one place. I'm not sure which way is preferred (the original or mine)
regarding the second change, therefore.

Description: Use msleep_interruptible() instead of stl_delay() to
guarantee the task delays as expected. Removed the definition /
prototype of stl_delay() as it was only called in one other place,
where I made the direct change to
set_current_state()/schedule_timeout().
