[PATCH] [MTD] NAND: Prevents NAND subsystem from hogging the CPU.

[Rick Bronson <rick@efn.org>]

  This is my first patch for mtd so bear with me...  sorry if I missed
something.

[PATCH] [MTD] NAND: Prevents NAND subsystem from hogging the
CPU waiting for ready line.

This patch prevents the nand_wait_ready chip from using too much
CPU time.  This was causing very long thread latencies.  The
solution, which is used elsewhere in this same file, is to call
cond_resched() in the wait loop.
