Josh Triplett 3e98c2443f nvme: Check for readiness more quickly, to speed up boot time
After initialization, nvme_wait_ready checks for readiness every 100ms,
even though the drive may be ready far sooner than that. This delays
system boot by hundreds of milliseconds. Reduce the delay, checking for
readiness every millisecond instead.

Boot-time tests on an AWS c5.12xlarge:

Before:
[    0.546936] initcall nvme_init+0x0/0x5b returned 0 after 37 usecs
...
[    0.764178] nvme nvme0: 2/0/0 default/read/poll queues
[    0.768424]  nvme0n1: p1
[    0.774132] EXT4-fs (nvme0n1p1): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode. Opts: (null)
[    0.774146] VFS: Mounted root (ext4 filesystem) on device 259:1.
...
[    0.788141] Run /sbin/init as init process

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
