When the host already timed out the control transfer and started a new 
one.  Here's what I'm talking about:

	Host sends a Set-Configuration request.

	The UDC driver calls the gadget driver's setup function.

	The setup function returns DELAYED_STATUS.

	After a few seconds, the host gets tired of waiting and
	sends a Get-Descriptor request

	The gadget driver finally submits the delayed request response
	to the Set-Configuration request.  But it is now too late,
	because the host expects a response to the Get-Descriptor 
	request.

My point is that the UDC driver can't handle this.  Therefore the
gadget driver has to prevent this from happening.

That means composite.c has to avoid sending delayed status responses if 
a new SETUP packet has been received already.

dwc3 won't know that the status response is stale.  It will think the 
response was meant for the new transfer, not the old one.
