[SCSI] sd: pause in sd_spinup_disk for slow USB devices
This patch adds a delay tailored for USB flash devices that are slow to
initialize their firmware. The symptom is a repeated Unit Attention with
ASC=0x28 (Not Ready to Ready transition). The patch will wait for up to 5
seconds for such devices to become ready. Normal devices won't send the
repeated Unit Attention sense key and hence won't trigger the patch.
This fixes a problem with James Roberts-Thomson's USB device, and I've
seen several reports of other devices exhibiting the same symptoms --
presumably they will be helped as well.
