Subject: [PATCH] usbnet: Resubmit interrupt URB more often

I previously sent a patch to resubmit the interrupt URB when
coming out of suspend.  I haven't seen much activity on the
list about it, and thought I'd send a slight variant of this
change.  This one unconditionally resubmits the interrupt urb
in usbnet_bh.  The consequences for resubmitting the URB often
are not large.  In most HCI cases this just means usb_submit_urb
returns immediately and leaves the previous request outstanding.

Doing things this way allows us to avoid keeping track of the
URB transmit status, which may change silently over suspend-
resume transitions and is not tracked in any way currently by
usbnet.

I've designed this change on two types of systems: the first
class of system leaves USB devices powered during suspend.
This might silently cause the interrupt URB to disappear (or at
least not be resubmitted in intr_complete).  Resubmission after
system resume will prevent this from causing problems.

The second class of device are those which shut down the device
during suspend.  During a suspend-resume cycle, the device is
re-enumerated at system resume, and for whatever reason
usbnet_resume may be called on the device during the call-tree
from usbnet_open-> usb_autopm_get_interface, which may cause a
race where the first change above may cause the bh to submit the
interrupt urb before usbnet_open() does.  As a result, I've added
an EALREADY check and a fix to urb.c to send one.
