USB: xhci: Minimize HW event ring dequeue pointer writes.
The xHCI specification suggests that writing the hardware event ring dequeue pointer register too often can be an expensive operation for the xHCI hardware to manage. It suggests minimizing the number of writes to that register. Originally, the driver wrote the event ring dequeue pointer after each event was processed. Depending on how the event ring moderation register is set up and how fast the transfers are completing, there may be several events processed for each interrupt. This patch makes the hardware event ring dequeue pointer be written only once per interrupt. Make the transfer event handler and port status event handler only write the software event ring dequeue pointer. Move the updating of the hardware event ring dequeue pointer into the interrupt function. Move the contents of xhci_set_hc_event_deq() into the interrupt handler. The interrupt handler must clear the event handler busy flag, so it might as well also write the dequeue pointer to the same register. This eliminates two 32-bit PCI reads and two 32-bit PCI writes.
