[PATCH 1/2] mesh_plink: use msecs_to_jiffies for proper time conversion

[PATCH 1/2] mesh_plink: use msecs_to_jiffies for proper time conversion

[Nicholas Mc Guire]

This is primarily an API consolidation and should make things more readable
it replaces var * HZ / 1000 by msecs_to_jiffies(var) which also handles
corner cases correctly.

There is a change of behavior as e.g. for HZ 100, t * HZ / 1000 will
return 0 for t < 10 but msecs_to_jiffies will return at least 1 always.

Patch was only compile tested with x86_64_defconfig + CONFIG_MAC80211_MESH=y

Patch is against 4.0-rc1 (localversion-next is -next-20150302)

[PATCH 2/2] mesh_plink: fixup type of timeout to match usage

[Nicholas Mc Guire]

timeout was being passed as int but assigned from u32/u16 values and used 
as unsigned type. This is really only for better readability.

After review of the use locations of mesh_plink_timer_set() and declarations 
in sta_info.h this should not be breaking any integer promotions.

Both applied, thanks.
