unified: Ensure delays do not time out prematurely
Ensures that all APIs which accept a timeout value wait for at least
the specified amount of time, and do not time out prematurely.
* The kernel now waits for the next system clock tick to occur before
the timeout interval is considered to have started. (That is, the only
way to ensure a delay of N tick intervals is to wait for N+1 ticks
to occur.)
* Gets rid of ticks -> milliseconds -> ticks conversion in task_sleep()
and fiber_sleep() legacy APIs, since this introduces rounding that
-- coupled with the previous change -- can alter the number of ticks
being requested during the sleep operation.
* Corrects work queue API that was incorrectly shown to use a delay
measured in ticks, rather than milliseconds.
