Subject: [PATCH] usb: core: allow zero packet flag for interrupt urbs

Section 4.4.7.2 of the USB3.0 spec says:
	A zero-length data payload is a valid transfer and may be useful for
	some implementations.

So, extend the logic of allowing URB_ZERO_PACKET to interrupt urbs too.
Otherwise, the kernel throws error of BOGUS transfer flags.
