Subject: [PATCH v2] usb: xhci: add xhci_halt() for HCE Handling

The xHCI controller reports a Host Controller Error (HCE) in UAS Storage
Device plug/unplug scenarios on Android devices, which is checked in
xhci_irq() function and causes an interrupt storm (since the interrupt
isn’t cleared), leading to severe system-level faults.

When the xHCI controller reports HCE in the interrupt handler, the driver
currently only logs a warning and continues execution. However, HCE
indicates a critical hardware failure that requires the controller to be
halted. This ensures the controller is in a consistent state and prevents
further operations on failed hardware.

The change is made in xhci_irq() function where STS_HCE status is
checked, mirroring the existing error handling pattern used for
STS_FATAL errors.

Fixes: 2a25e66d676df ("xhci: print warning when HCE was set")
