[PATCH] usb: gadget: dummy_hcd: execute hrtimer callback in softirq context

Commit a7f3813e589f ("usb: gadget: dummy_hcd: Switch to hrtimer transfer
scheduler") switched dummy_hcd to use hrtimer and made the timer's
callback be executed in the hardirq context.

With that change, __usb_hcd_giveback_urb now gets executed in the hardirq
context, which causes problems for KCOV and KMSAN.

One problem is that KCOV now is unable to collect coverage from
the USB code that gets executed from the dummy_hcd's timer callback,
as KCOV cannot collect coverage in the hardirq context.

Another problem is that the dummy_hcd hrtimer might get triggered in the
middle of a softirq with KCOV remote coverage collection enabled, and that
causes a WARNING in KCOV, as reported by syzbot. (I sent a separate patch
to shut down this WARNING, but that doesn't fix the other two issues.)

Finally, KMSAN appears to ignore tracking memory copying operations
that happen in the hardirq context, which causes false positive
kernel-infoleaks, as reported by syzbot.

Change the hrtimer in dummy_hcd to execute the callback in the softirq
context.

Marcello, would this change be acceptable for your use case?

If we wanted to keep the hardirq hrtimer, we would need teach KCOV to
collect coverage in the hardirq context (or disable it, which would be
unfortunate) and also fix whatever is wrong with KMSAN, but all that
requires some work.
