David Brownell 937ef73d50 USB: serial gadget: rx path data loss fixes
Update RX path handling in new serial gadget code to cope better with
RX blockage:  queue every RX packet until its contents can safely be
passed up to the ldisc.  Most of the RX path work is now done in the
RX tasklet, instead of just the final "push to ldisc" step.  This
addresses some cases of data loss:

  - A longstanding serial gadget bug: when tty_insert_flip_string()
    didn't copy the entire buffer, the rest of the characters were
    dropped!  Now that packet stays queued until the rest of its data
    is pushed to the ldisc.

  - Another longstanding issue:  in the unlikely case that an RX
    transfer returns data and also reports a fault, that data is
    no longer discarded.

  - In the recently added RX throttling logic:  it needs to stop
    pushing data into the TTY layer, instead of just not submitting
    new USB read requests.  When the TTY is throttled long enough,
    backpressure will eventually make the OUT endpoint NAK.

Also: an #ifdef is removed (no longer necessary); and start switching
to a better convention for debug messages (prefix them with tty name).

To understand all the Linux-USB framework, you'll use these resources:

    * This source code.  This is necessarily an evolving work, and
      includes kerneldoc that should help you get a current overview.
      ("make pdfdocs", and then look at "usb.pdf" for host side and
      "gadget.pdf" for peripheral side.)  Also, Documentation/usb has
      more information.

    * The USB 2.0 specification (from www.usb.org), with supplements
      such as those for USB OTG and the various device classes.
      The USB specification has a good overview chapter, and USB
      peripherals conform to the widely known "Chapter 9".

    * Chip specifications for USB controllers.  Examples include
      host controllers (on PCs, servers, and more); peripheral
      controllers (in devices with Linux firmware, like printers or
      cell phones); and hard-wired peripherals like Ethernet adapters.

    * Specifications for other protocols implemented by USB peripheral
      functions.  Some are vendor-specific; others are vendor-neutral
      but just standardized outside of the www.usb.org team.

Here is a list of what each subdirectory here is, and what is contained in
them.

core/		- This is for the core USB host code, including the
		  usbfs files and the hub class driver ("khubd").

host/		- This is for USB host controller drivers.  This
		  includes UHCI, OHCI, EHCI, and others that might
		  be used with more specialized "embedded" systems.

gadget/		- This is for USB peripheral controller drivers and
		  the various gadget drivers which talk to them.


Individual USB driver directories.  A new driver should be added to the
first subdirectory in the list below that it fits into.

image/		- This is for still image drivers, like scanners or
		  digital cameras.
../input/	- This is for any driver that uses the input subsystem,
		  like keyboard, mice, touchscreens, tablets, etc.
../media/	- This is for multimedia drivers, like video cameras,
		  radios, and any other drivers that talk to the v4l
		  subsystem.
../net/		- This is for network drivers.
serial/		- This is for USB to serial drivers.
storage/	- This is for USB mass-storage drivers.
class/		- This is for all USB device drivers that do not fit
		  into any of the above categories, and work for a range
		  of USB Class specified devices. 
misc/		- This is for all USB device drivers that do not fit
		  into any of the above categories.
