    USB: make HCDs responsible for managing endpoint queues · e9df41c5

    This patch (as954) implements a suggestion of David Brownell's.  Now
    the host controller drivers are responsible for linking and unlinking
    URBs to/from their endpoint queues.  This eliminates the possiblity of
    strange situations where usbcore thinks an URB is linked but the HCD
    thinks it isn't.  It also means HCDs no longer have to check for URBs
    being dequeued before they were fully enqueued.
    
    In addition to the core changes, this requires changing every host
    controller driver and the root-hub URB handler.  For the most part the
    required changes are fairly small; drivers have to call
    usb_hcd_link_urb_to_ep() in their urb_enqueue method,
    usb_hcd_check_unlink_urb() in their urb_dequeue method, and
    usb_hcd_unlink_urb_from_ep() before giving URBs back.  A few HCDs make
    matters more complicated by the way they split up the flow of control.
    
    In addition some method interfaces get changed.  The endpoint argument
    for urb_enqueue is now redundant so it is removed.  The unlink status
    is required by usb_hcd_check_unlink_urb(), so it has been added to
    urb_dequeue.
