net: sched: Avoid using yield() in a busy waiting loop

With threaded interrupts enabled, the interrupt thread runs as SCHED_RR
with priority 50. If a user application with a higher priority preempts
the interrupt thread and tries to shutdown the network interface then it
will loop forever. The kernel will spin in the loop waiting for the
device to become idle and the scheduler will never consider the
interrupt thread because its priority is lower.

Avoid the problem by sleeping for a jiffy giving other tasks,
including the interrupt thread, a chance to run and make progress.

In the original thread it has been suggested to use wait_event() and
properly waiting for the state to occur. DaveM explained that this would
require to add expensive checks in the fast paths of packet processing.
