USB: EHCI: don't lose events during a scan
This patch (as1584) fixes a minor bug that has been present in ehci-hcd since the beginning. Scanning the schedules for URB completions is single-threaded. If a completion interrupt occurs while an URB is being given back, the interrupt handler realizes that a scan is in progress on another CPU and avoids starting a new one. This means that completion events can be lost. If an URB completes after it has been scanned but while a scan is still in progress, the driver won't notice and won't rescan the completed URB. The patch fixes the problem by adding a new flag to indicate that another scan is needed after the current scan is done. The flag gets set whenever a completion interrupt occurs while a scan is in progress. The rescan will see the completion, thus preventing it from getting lost.
