Add read_poll_timeout_atomic function which polls periodically until a condition is met, an error occurs, or the attempt limit is reached. The C's read_poll_timeout_atomic() is used for the similar purpose. In atomic context the timekeeping infrastructure is unavailable, so reliable time-based timeouts cannot be implemented. So instead, the helper accepts a maximum number of attempts and busy-waits (udelay + cpu_relax) between tries.

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 reStructuredText 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.
