Subject: [PATCH 1/2] usbip: fix off-by-one frame number calculation

vgadget_get_frame returns a frame number from 0 to 2046, which
may require an expensive division operation to wrap at one lower
than the usual number.

I can't see any reason for this, and all other drivers wrap at
a power-of-two number. My best explanation is that it was a simple
typo, so I'm changing the % modulo operator into a cheaper bitmask
that the other drivers use, to make it wrap after 0x7ff rather than
before it.
