[PATCH 1/2] drivers/cdrom/cdu31a.c: Replacing yield() with abetter alternative

[Amol Lad]

In 2.6, the semantics of calling yield() changed from "sleep for a
bit" to "I really don't want to run for a while".  This matches POSIX
better, but there's a lot of drivers still using yield() when they mean
cond_resched(), schedule() or even schedule_timeout().

For this driver schedule_timeout_interruptible() seems to be a better
alternative

Tested compile only
