Re: [PATCH -next] xhci: fix two places when dealing with return value of function xhci_check_args

[谢泓宇 <xiehongyu1@kylinos.cn>]

1."What problem?
r8152_submit_rx needs to detach netdev if -ENODEV happened, but -ENODEV 
will never happen
because xhci_urb_enqueue only returns -EINVAL if the return value of 
xhci_check_args <= 0. So
r8152_submit_rx will will call napi_schedule to re-submit that urb, and 
this will cause infinite urb
submission.
The whole point is, if xhci_check_args returns value A, 
xhci_urb_enqueque shouldn't return any
other value, because that will change some driver's behavior(like r8152.c).

2."So if 0 is returned, you will now return that here, is that ok?
That is a change in functionality.
But this can only ever be the case for a root hub, is that ok?"

It's the same logic, but now xhci_urb_enqueue can return -ENODEV if xHC 
is halted.
If it happens on a root hub,  xhci_urb_enqueue won't be called.

3."Again, this means all is good?  Why is this being called for a root hub?"

It is the same logic with the old one, but now 
xhci_check_streams_endpoint can return -ENODEV if xHC is halted.
