usbnet: ipheth: prevent TX queue timeouts when device not ready

BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1830176

commit bb1b40c7 upstream.

iOS devices require the host to be "trusted" before servicing network
packets. Establishing trust requires the user to confirm a dialog on the
iOS device.Until trust is established, the iOS device will silently discard
network packets from the host. Currently, the ipheth driver does not detect
whether an iOS device has established trust with the host, and immediately
sets up the transmit queues.

This causes the following problems:

- Kernel taint due to WARN() in netdev watchdog.
- Dmesg spam ("TX timeout").
- Disruption of user space networking activity (dhcpd, etc...) when new
interface comes up but cannot be used.
- Unnecessary host and device wakeups and USB traffic

Example dmesg output:

[ 1101.320110] ipheth 1-5:4.2: ipheth_tx_timeout: TX timeout

The last message "TX timeout" is repeated every 5 seconds until trust is
established or the device is disconnected, filling up dmesg.

The proposed patch eliminates the problem by, upon connection, keeping the
TX queue and carrier disabled until a packet is first received from the iOS
device. This is reflected by the confirmed_pairing variable in the device
structure. Only after at least one packet has been received from the iOS
device, the transmit queue and carrier are brought up during the periodic
device poll in ipheth_carrier_set. Because the iOS device will always send
a packet immediately upon trust being established, this should not delay
the interface becoming useable. To prevent failed UBRs in
ipheth_rcvbulk_callback from perpetually re-enabling the queue if it was
disabled, a new check is added so only successful transfers re-enable the
queue, whereas failed transfers only trigger an immediate poll.

This has the added benefit of removing the periodic control requests to the
iOS device until trust has been established and thus should reduce wakeup
events on both the host and the iOS device.
