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.
