This is a patch against
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/tiwai/sound.git/
581cbef46ae60073252208fc1f26dd1044f6e215

Set the timeout for USB control set messages according to the USB 2 spec
§9.2.6.4 to 5000 ms.
To avoid new issues, the get timeout is unchanged at 1000 ms, though it
is 500 ms in the spec.
This patch is required to run the Hercules RMX2 which needs a timeout >
1240 ms
