Johan Hovold 27c7acf220 USB: serial: reimplement generic fifo-based writes
Reimplement fifo-based writes in the generic driver using a multiple
pre-allocated urb scheme.

In contrast to multi-urb writes, no allocations (of urbs or buffers) are
made during run-time and there is less pressure on the host stack
queues as currently only two urbs are used (implementation is generic
and can handle more than two urbs as well, though).

Initial tests using ftdi_sio show that the implementation achieves the
same (maximum) throughput at high baudrates as multi-urb writes. The CPU
usage is much lower than for multi-urb writes for small write requests
and only slightly higher for large (e.g. 2k) requests (due to extra copy
via fifo?).

Also outperforms multi-urb writes for small write requests on an
embedded arm-9 system, where multi-urb writes are CPU-bound at high
baudrates (perf reveals that a lot of time is spent in the host stack
enqueue function -- could perhaps be a bug as well).

Keeping the original write_urb, buffer and flag for now as there are
other drivers depending on them.
