USB: UHCI: improve scheduling of interrupt URBs
This patch (as1140) adds a little intelligence to the interrupt-URB
scheduler in uhci-hcd. Right now the scheduler is stupid; every URB
having the same period is assigned to the same slot. Thus a large
group of period-N URBs can fill their slot and cause -ENOSPC errors
even when all the lower-period slots are empty.
With the patch, if an URB doesn't fit in its assigned slot then the
scheduler will try using lower-period slots. This will provide
greater flexibility. As an example, the driver will be able to handle
more than just three or four mice, which the current driver cannot.
