[PATCH] USB: usbtest: scatterlist OUT data pattern testing
Previously, scatterlist tests didn't write patterned data. Given how many corner cases are addresed by them, this was a significant gap in Linux-USB test coverage. Moreover, when peripherals checked for correct data patterns, false error reports would drown out the true ones. This adds the pattern on the way OUT from the host, so scatterlist tests can now be used to uncover bugs like host TX or peripheral RX paths failing for back-to-back short packets. It's easy enough to get an error there with at least one of the {DMA,PIO}{RX,TX} code paths, or run into hardware races that need to be defended against. Note this patch doesn't add checking for correct data patterns on the way IN from peripherals, just a FIXME for later.
