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

From: Nicholas Mc Guire
Date: Mon Mar 02 2015 - 04:58:58 EST


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)
