Even if it were a temporary condition then an immediate retry
is rather pointless.
Retry after a slight delay might make some sense.

Of course, if this is the pagedaemon trying to write out
pages in order to generate some free kernel memory all is lost
as soon as the usb subsystem need to allocate memory in order
to perform a transfer.
