This patch modifies the code that during endpoint initialization, if cached
ring is available it is assigned to the endpoint ring. If cached rings are
not available then xhci_ring_alloc() is called to allocate a new ring.
Doing so will avoid unncessary memory allocations if cached ring is already
available for use. This also fixes endpoint "Ring expansion failed" error
which occurs due to insufficient memory during ring expansion.

Thanks for bringing this to my attention.
Your approach certainly makes more sense than the current way.
I need to check history why this type of ring cache was created in the first place.
It's possible that the whole ring cache is not really useful anymore
