usb: quirks: add control message delay for 1b1c:1b20

Corsair Strafe RGB keyboard does not respond to usb control messages sometimes and hence generates timeouts.

Commit de3af5bf259d ("usb: quirks: add delay init quirk for Corsair Strafe RGB keyboard") tried to fix those timeouts by adding USB_QUIRK_DELAY_INIT.

Unfortunately, even with this quirk timeouts of usb_control_msg() can still be seen, but with a lower frequency (approx. 1 out of 15):

[   29.103520] usb 1-8: string descriptor 0 read error: -110
[   34.363097] usb 1-8: can't set config #1, error -110

Adding further delays to different locations where usb control messages are issued just moves the timeouts to other locations, e.g.:

[   35.400533] usbhid 1-8:1.0: can't add hid device: -110
[   35.401014] usbhid: probe of 1-8:1.0 failed with error -110

The only way to reliably avoid those issues is having a pause after each usb control message. In approx. 200 boot cycles no more timeouts were seen.

Addionaly, keep USB_QUIRK_DELAY_INIT as it turned out to be necessary to have the delay in hub_port_connect() after hub_port_init().

The overall boot time seems not to be influenced by these additional delays, even on fast machines and lightweight distributions.
