Suspending an open usbnet device results in constant
rescheduling of usbnet_bh.
commit 65841fd5 "usbnet: handle remote wakeup asap"
refactored the usbnet_bh code to allow sharing the
urb allocate and submit code with usbnet_resume. In
this process, a test for, and immediate return on,
ENOLINK from rx_submit was unintentionally dropped.
The rx queue will not grow if rx_submit fails,
making usbnet_bh reschedule itself. This results
in a softirq storm if the error is persistent.
rx_submit translates the usb_submit_urb error
EHOSTUNREACH into ENOLINK, so this is an expected
and persistent error for a suspended device. The
old code tested for this condition and avoided
rescheduling. Putting this test back.

Sorry for not noticing this before, but commit 65841fd5
makes usbnet autosuspend completely unusable. The device
is suspended fine, but burning one CPU core at full load
uses a tiny bit more power making the power saving
negative...
I hope this can go into 3.6 and 3.5-stable ASAP. It is
a hard to notice regression, but all the same a serious
one.
Thanks,
Bjørn
