Subject: [PATCH 1/2] net: wireless: zydas: Replace mdelay with msleep in zd1201_probe

zd1201_probe() is never called in atomic context.

zd1201_probe() is only set as ".probe" in struct usb_driver.

Despite never getting called from atomic context, zd1201_probe()
calls mdelay() to busily wait.
This is not necessary and can be replaced with msleep() to
avoid busy waiting.

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