The existing wait_for_tpm_stat() polls for the chip status after
5msec sleep. As per TCG ddwg input, it is expected that tpm might
return status in few usec. So, reducing the delay in polling to
1msec.

After this change, performance on a TPM 1.2 with an 8 byte
burstcount for 1000 extends improved from ~14sec to ~10sec.

Should have a comment above that explains the choice.
