Subject: [PATCH v2] usbip: Skip DMA mapping and unmapping for urb at vhci

vhci doesn’t do dma for remote device. Actually, the real dma
operation is done by network card driver. So, vhci doesn’t use and
need dma address of transfer buffer of urb.

But hcd provides dma mapping and unmapping function by defualt and
it causes unnecessary dma mapping and unmapping which will be done
again at the NIC driver and it wastes CPU cycles. So, implement
map_urb_for_dma and unmap_urb_for_dma function for vhci in order to
skip the dma mapping and unmapping procedure.
