[PATCH 3/3] fb: smscufx: fix hang at disconnect

[Alexander Holler]

When a device was disconnected the driver may hang at waiting for urbs it never
will get. Fix this by using a timeout while waiting for the used semaphore.

There is still a memory leak if a timeout happens, but at least the driver
now continues his disconnect routine.
