Subject: [PATCH] usb: core: prevent double URB enqueue causing list corruption

Prevents the same URB from being enqueued twice on the same endpoint,
which could lead to list corruption detected by list_debug.c.

This was observed in syzbot reports where URBs were re-submitted
before completion, triggering 'list_add double add' errors.

Adding a check to return -EEXIST if the URB is already on a queue
prevents this corruption.
