usb-storage: revert DMA-alignment change for Wireless USB
This patch (as1110) reverts an earlier patch meant to help with Wireless USB host controllers. These controllers can have bulk maxpacket values larger than 512, which puts unusual constraints on the sizes of scatter-gather list elements. However it turns out that the block layer does not provide the support we need to enforce these constraints; merely changing the DMA alignment mask doesn't help. Hence there's no reason to keep the original patch. The Wireless USB problem will have to be solved a different way. In addition, there is a reason to get rid of the earlier patch. By dereferencing a pointer stored in the ep_in array of struct usb_device, the current code risks an invalid memory access when it runs concurrently with device removal. The members of that array are cleared before the driver's disconnect method is called, so it should not try to use them.
