netpoll: Fix carrier detection for drivers that are using phylib
Using early netconsole and gianfar driver this error pops up: netconsole: timeout waiting for carrier It appears that net/core/netpoll.c:netpoll_setup() is using cond_resched() in a loop waiting for a carrier. The thing is that cond_resched() is a no-op when system_state != SYSTEM_RUNNING, and so drivers/net/phy/phy.c's state_queue is never scheduled, therefore link detection doesn't work. I belive that the main problem is in cond_resched()[1], but despite how the cond_resched() story ends, it might be a good idea to call msleep(1) instead of cond_resched(), as suggested by Andrew Morton.
