What's the point to delay it then? I would think that the test for the
urb status could be used to discard the data in this urb (by setting
->filled_cells to zero). Delaying it until the next urb arrives doesn't
seem to make any sense.

No worries here: we only kill urbs with tasklets disabled, then trim the
sender and receiver lists, so when the tasklets are reenabled they can
never submit a urb.
