rtc: mc146818-lib: reduce RTC_UIP polling period 

Waiting 1ms every time is not necessary, for example on some AMD boxes
the RTC_UIP bit is documented as being high for around 270 microseconds
in some cases [1], which agreed with experiments on an SB710
southbridge. So 100us seems optimal.

This in preparation for mach_get_cmos_time() refactoring.
The functions mc146818_get_time() and mach_get_cmos_time() in
arch/x86/kernel/rtc.c perform the same function and the code is
duplicated. mach_get_cmos_time() is busy waiting for the RTC_UIP
bit to clear, so make mc146818_get_time() more similar to it by reducing
the polling period.

        "SB700 A12: The UIP high pulse is 270 μS Typical when SS on SRC
        clock is OFF and 100μ min when SRC SS is ON." [sic]
