[PATCH] powerpc: remove WATCHDOG_RESET call from wait_ticks()

[Rasmus Villemoes]

wait_ticks() is only used by the ppc-specific __udelay()
function. Having the powerpc version of __udelay implicitly call
WATCHDOG_RESET() is inconsistent with other architectures' (and the
generic __udelay() in lib/time.c) implementations. It also means a
driver cannot use __udelay() as the raw primitive it is supposed to be
- e.g. a watchdog driver that needs to do a short delay between two
operations needed to perform a ping sequence.

There are not that many __udelay() calls, so I doubt this causes a
regression for anyone. Callers of udelay() are not affected, since
udelay() itself does one WATCHDOG_RESET() per __udelay() call.
