ALSA: usb-audio: don't retry snd_usb_ctl_msg after timeout

A few calls to snd_usb_ctl_msg wrap the function in a retry loop. In
the worst case, the timeout for snd_usb_ctl_msg is 5 seconds, which when
retried 10 times (for example, if a device is removed) could cause a
probe to hang for ~50 seconds.

Example stack trace from 3.14 which triggered a hung task timeout:
