xhci_move_dequeue_past_td() uses a relatively complex and inefficient

Replace it with a simpler function which moves dequeue immediately to
the first pending TD, or to enqueue if the ring is empty.

The outcome should be basically equivalent, because we only clear xHC
cache if it stopped or halted on some cancelled TD and moving past the
TD effectively means moving to the first remaining TD, if any.

This new way relies on td_list being in sync and up to date.
i.e. hardware dequeue can't be ahead of first TD in list.

One bad scenario could be something like:

class driver queues TD1
class driver queues TD2
Class driver cancels TD2, queue stop endpoint command
(Class driver cancels TD1) (optional)

xHC hardware just completed TD1 and stop endpoint command at the same time,
xHC hw may have advanced the hw dequeue to TD2, write event for stop endpoint command, and
then write transfer event for TD1 completion. (xHC hardware may do things in odd order)

Now we detect that hw dequeue is in the cancelled TD2 but with TD1 is till in the td_list.
This new solution would move dequeue back to TD1 beginning, and process it again.

Thanks
Mathias
