Subject: [PATCH 2/2] staging: irda: Replace mdelay with usleep_range in irda_usb_probe

irda_usb_probe() is never called in atomic context.

irda_usb_probe() is only set as ".probe" in struct usb_driver.

Despite never getting called from atomic context, irda_usb_probe()
calls mdelay() to busily wait.
This is not necessary and can be replaced with usleep_range() to
avoid busy waiting.

This is found by a static analysis tool named DCNS written by myself.
And I also manually check it.
