[086/119] USB: EHCI: dont send Clear-TT-Buffer following a STALL

2.6.31-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------
From: Alan Stern <stern@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit c2f6595fbdb408d3d6850cfae590c8fa93e27399 upstream.

This patch (as1304) fixes a regression in ehci-hcd. Evidently some
hubs don't handle Clear-TT-Buffer requests correctly, so we should
avoid sending them when they don't appear to be absolutely necessary.
The reported symptom is that output on a downstream audio device cuts
out because the hub stops relaying isochronous packets.

The patch prevents Clear-TT-Buffer requests from being sent following
a STALL handshake. In theory a STALL indicates either that the
downstream device sent a STALL or that no matching TT buffer could be
found. In either case, the transfer is completed and the TT buffer
does not remain busy, so it doesn't need to be cleared.

Also, the patch fixes a minor flaw in the code that actually sends the
Clear-TT-Buffer requests. Although the pipe direction isn't really
used for control transfers, it should be a Send rather than a Receive.
