Subject: [PATCH] Input: cyapa_gen3: use msleep() for long delay

ulseep_range() uses hrtimers and provides no advantage over msleep()
for larger delays. Fix up the 50ms delays here to use msleep() and
reduce the load on the hrtimer subsystem.

Problem found by coccinelle script

As the needed delay is specified in the comment as being "at least 50ms"
the msleep(50) should be fine here. 

Note that cyapa_gen3_bl_exit() is returning -EAGAIN in cases where it was
not yet ready to process the request, but the calling side 
cyapa_gen3_do_operational_check() does not check for -EAGAIN so in case of
the noted increased delay "...can take up to an additional 2 seconds. If 
the device power is running low, this may take even longer", maybe
cyapa_gen3_do_operational_check() may need a retry loop on -EAGAIN ?

Patch was compile tested with: x86_64_defconfig + CONFIG_MOUSE_CYAPA=m

Patch is against 4.10-rc3 (localversion-next is next-20170113)
