This suggestion is very useful. Before reading the bandwidth. Need to make sure 
the device is active

When obtaining port bandwidth, alloc a new command structure with context for 
each time.This is indeed better for concurrent reading.

In the specific implementation, I created a new dma pool for port bandwidth 
context. I used the new function xhci_alloc_port_bw_ctx to get container_ctx 
instead of still using xhci_alloc_container_ctx. Because xhci_alloc_container_ctx 
allocates space from device_pool, and xhci_free_container_ctx also operates 
on device_pool. So it is more intuitive to use a new function instead of 
adding a new XHCI_CTX_TYPE_PORT_BW context type. I put the code changes on 
patch v5.
