[PATCH] USB: fixes of assumptions about waitqueues

quoting Linus:

--

You should never assume this. You should assume that there are _always_
false wakeups.

Why? Because Linux has always allowed people to leave wait-queues active,
without being "atomic". For example, the tty read/write layer used to
(still does?)  add itself on the wait-queue _once_, and then leave itself
on the wait-queue while in a loop it does copies from/to user space.

Unfortunately, this means us. Here's the first fix. Comments?

  - make sure timeouts are observed even if somebody left us on a queue
