TFTP booting is slow when a USB keyboard is installed and
stdin has usbkbd added.
This fix is to change Ctrl-C polling for USB keyboard to every second
when NET transfer is running.

Signed-off-by: Jim Lin <jilin@nvidia.com>
---
Changes in v2:
 1. Change configuration name from CONFIG_CTRLC_POLL_MS to CONFIG_CTRLC_POLL_S.
 2. New code will be executed only when CONFIG_CTRLC_POLL_S is defined in
    configuration header file.
 3. Add description in README.console.
Changes in v3:
 1. Move changes to common/usb_kbd.c and doc/README.usb
 2. Rename config setting to CONFIG_USBKB_TESTC_PERIOD.
 3. Remove slow response on USB-keyboard input when TFTP boot is not running.
Changes in v4:
 1. Remove changes in doc/README.usb, common/usb_kbd.c and
    CONFIG_USBKB_TESTC_PERIOD 
 2. Modify net/net.c
Changes in v5:
 1. Change variable name to ctrlc_t_start.
 2. Use two calls of get_timer(0) to get time gap.
Changes in v6:
 1. In common/usb_kbd.c, check net_busy_flag to determine whether we poll
    USB keyboard status.
 2. In include/usb.h, add external variable declaration net_busy_flag
Changes in v7:
 1. In common/usb_kbd.c and include/usb.h, add #ifdef CONFIG_CMD_NET.
 2. In common/usb_kbd.c, modify code to get correct time gap.
Changes in v8:
 1. Add __maybe_unused for variable kbd_testc_tms.

I wonder what would happen if you declared it here as

static int __maybe_unused

Would it have some side-effects?

Othewise,

Then each file that includes this header will get a separate copy of the
variable.
