[dm-devel] [PATCH] dm delay: use msecs_to_jiffies for time conversion

Converting milliseconds to jiffies by "val * HZ / 1000" is technically
OK but msecs_to_jiffies(val) is the cleaner solution and handles all
corner cases correctly. This is a minor API consolidation only and
should make things more readable.
