USB: xHCI: Fix bug in link TRB activation change.
Commit 6c12db90f19727c76990e7f4801c67a148b30111 introduced a bug for control transfers. The patch was supposed to change when the link TRBs at the end of each ring segment were given to the hardware. If a transfer descriptor (TD) ended just before the link TRB, the code wouldn't give back the link TRB to the hardware; instead it would be given back in prepare_ring() just before the next TD was enqueued at the top of the ring. Unfortunately, the code relied on checking the chain bit of the TRB to determine whether the TD ended just before the link TRB. It assumed that the ring enqueuing code would call prepare_ring() before enqueuing the next TD. However, control transfers are made of multiple TDs, and prepare_ring() is only called once before enqueuing two or three TDs. If the first or second TD of the control transfer ended just before the link TRB, then the code in inc_enq() would not move the enqueue pointer past the link TRB, and the link TRB would get overwritten. This would cause the xHCI driver to start writing to memory past the ring segment, and eventually the system would crash or hang. The fix is to add a flag to inc_enq() that says whether the caller will enqueue more TDs before calling prepare_ring(). If the chain bit is cleared (meaning this is the last TRB in a TD), and the caller will not enqueue more TDs, then we defer giving back the link TRB.
