Just realised that loaded is a bit field... and we shall not be
creative with lockless writes with those.

I am going to move it to uvc_ctrl_status_event(). It will not work
with controls without mappings... but I guess we do not care about the
cache for those.

Feel free to land the whole series without this patch if we need
further discussion or changes.
