USB: EHCI: always scan each interrupt QH
This patch (as1585) fixes a bug in ehci-hcd's scheme for scanning interrupt QHs. Currently a single routine takes care of scanning everything on the periodic schedule. Whenever an interrupt occurs, it scans all isochronous and interrupt URBs scheduled for frames that have elapsed since the last scan. This has two disadvantages. The first is relatively minor: An interrupt QH is likely to end up getting scanned multiple times, particularly if the last scan was not fairly recent. (The current code avoids this by maintaining a periodic_stamp in each interrupt QH.) The second is more serious. The periodic schedule wraps around. If the last scan occurred during frame N, and the next scan occurs when the schedule has gone through an entire cycle and is back at frame N, the scanning code won't look at any frames other than N. Consequently it won't see any QHs that completed during frame N-1 or earlier. The patch replaces the entire frame-based approach for scanning interrupt QHs with a new routine using a list-based approach, the same as for async QHs. This has a slight disadvantage, because it means that all interrupt QHs have to be scanned every time. But it is more robust than the current approach.
