I'm pretty sure the USB core already does this tracking. If it
doesn't, why not make the appropriate changes instead of adding a whole
new infrastructure?

This is questionable. Under what conditions do you think you can fix
up a possible issue?

Is it guaranteed that this routine and the other new ones can be called
only in process context? I don't think so -- but usb_kill_urb will
oops if it is called with interrupts disabled.

This is a mistake. The URB is still active until it is given back
to the completion routine.
