[RESEND/PATCH 2/6] USB: musb-gadget: fix bulk IN infinite hangs in double buffer case

From: Ming Lei <tom.leiming@xxxxxxxxx>

This patch fixes one infinite hang of bulk IN transfer in double buffer
case, the hang can be observed easily by test #6 of usbtest if musb is
configured as g_zero and fifo mode 3 is taken to enable double fifo.

In fact, the patch only removes the check for non-empty fifo before
loading data from new request into fifo since the check is not correct:

-in double buffer case, fifo may accommodate more than one packet,
even though it has contained one packet already and is non-empty

-since last DMA is completed before calling musb_g_tx, it is sure
that fifo may accommodate at least one packet

Without applying the patch, new requst enqueued from .complte may not
have a chance to be loaded into fifo, then will never be completed and
cause infinite hangs.

With the patch, on my beagle B5, test#6(queued bulk in) can be passed and
test result may go beyond 33Mbyte/s if musb is configured as g_zero and
fifo mode 3 is taken, follows the test command:

#testusb -D DEV_NAME -c 1024 -t 6 -s 32768 -g 8 [1]
