In the ChromeOS gerrit
<https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/#/c/310583/> Julius Werner
points out that for EHCI it was good to take the optimization from
commit 9118f9eb4f1e ("USB: EHCI: improve interrupt qh unlink") before
this one.  I'm still trying to learn USB / dwc2 so it's unclear to me
whether we also need a similar change before landing.

I'll see if I can do some investigation about this and also some
benchmarking before and after.  Certainly profiling the interrupt
handler itself showed a huge improvement, but I'd hate to see a
regression elsewhere.

If anyone else knows better than I, please speak up!  :)
