[PATCH] HID: quirks: add ALWAYS_POLL quirk for SDINNOVATION gaming keyboard

[Junjie Cao]

The SDINNOVATION gaming keyboard (USB ID 36ae:feab) stops reporting
input events after its RGB lighting mode is switched about twice.
Disabling USB autosuspend and unbinding the other HID interfaces make
no difference; the issue does not occur on Windows.

HID_QUIRK_ALWAYS_POLL alone resolves it, verified on 7.1.8 via
usbhid.quirks=0x36ae:0xfeab:0x400.
