In reviewing patches I realized that this is actually a revert of
commit dd81dd7c8178 ("usb: dwc2: host: use correct frame number during
qh init").  IMHO that patch was wrong: hsotg->frame_number is supposed
to be the frame number as of the last start of frame.  If we need to
know a more recent frame number then we should query it ourselves.

Presumably the reason for the original patch was to try to fix some of
the same problems I've addressed in my series, so I'd presume that
this doesn't add any new regressions.  I haven't heard much from
Gregory Herrero about my series, but it would be nice to confirm that
this virtual revert wasn't causing problems.
