linux_mtd: Provide no-op delay implementation
Flashrom has several magic programmer_delay() calls scattered throughout
its codebase (see cli_classic.s/main() and
flashrom.c/flashrom_image_write(), at least). These delays are
superfluous for the linux_mtd programmer, because it's an opaque
programmer in which all protocol details are handled by the kernel
driver.
Stub out the delay function, so we don't waste up to 1.1 seconds of
needless delay time, depending on the operation and CLI vs libflashrom
usage.
BUG=b:325539928
TEST=`elogtool add 0xa7` on a linux_mtd system (such as a Mediatek
Chromebook):
Time improvement - reduces from ~1.5s wall clock to about 0.4s
CPU usage: -90%, as most of the CPU cycles (before this change) are
spent in needless magic-delay busy loops
