Breno Leitao d8afe2f8a9 netpoll: Remove 4s sleep during carrier detection
This patch removes the msleep(4s) during netpoll_setup() if the carrier
appears instantly.

Here are some scenarios where this workaround is counter-productive in
modern ages:

Servers which have BMC communicating over NC-SI via the same NIC as gets
used for netconsole. BMC will keep the PHY up, hence the carrier
appearing instantly.

The link is fibre, SERDES getting sync could happen within 0.1Hz, and
the carrier also appears instantly.

Other than that, if a driver is reporting instant carrier and then
losing it, this is probably a driver bug.

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.
