[PATCH] timers: Remove historical extra jiffie for timeout in msleep()

[Anna-Maria Behnsen]

msleep() as well as msleep_interruptible() add a jiffie to the
timeout. This extra jiffie was introduced in former days to ensure timeout
will not happen earlier than specified. But the timer wheel already takes
care during enqueue that timers will not expire earlier than specified.

Remove this extra jiffie in msleep() and msleep_interruptible().

timers: Remove historical extra jiffie for timeout in msleep()

msleep() and msleep_interruptible() add a jiffie to the requested timeout.

This extra jiffie was introduced to ensure that the timeout will not happen
earlier than specified.

Since the rework of the timer wheel, the enqueue path already takes care of
this. So the extra jiffie added by msleep*() is pointless now.

Remove this extra jiffie in msleep() and msleep_interruptible().
