We loop infinitely in rt2x00_rxdone because we can not submit
urb. We always get EPROTO error. I think usb host driver should
give ENODEV at some point, but this is out of tree dwc_otg driver,
so I don't expect we can get fix for it.

I prepared a patch that count EPROTO errors and if it's bigger
than 10 mark device as gone. It should not make a problem
when we will get one time random error.  I'm attaching it,
please test.

Thanks
Stanislaw
