For some platforms the newly-set frequency may not be effective
immediately. If we didn't get the right value from cpuinfo_cur_freq
immediately, add 10ms delay each time before rechecking until
timeout.

>From our test, for some arm platforms, it requires up to 700ms when
going from a minimum to a maximum frequency. And it's not the
driver/software issue.
