read_poll_timeout_atomic() uses udelay() instead of fsleep(), where the latter
may sleep.

In [1] I explicitly asked for not having the

	if sleep_delta != 0 {
	   might_sleep();
	}

conditional.

It hides bugs and callers should be explicit about what they want. Either they
want something that actually may sleep or they want something that can be used
from atomic context.

Even better, in Rust we can use Klint to validate correct usage at compile time
with this separation.
