Shuah Khan 8f36b3b4e1 usbip: add USBIP_URB_* URB transfer flags 
USBIP driver packs URB transfer flags in network packets that are
exchanged between Server (usbip_host) and Client (vhci_hcd).

URB_* flags are internal to kernel and could change. Where as USBIP
URB flags exchanged in network packets are USBIP user API must not
change.

Add USBIP_URB* flags to make this an explicit API and change the
client and server to map them. Details as follows:

Client tx path (USBIP_CMD_SUBMIT):
- Maps URB_* to USBIP_URB_* when it sends USBIP_CMD_SUBMIT packet.

Server rx path (USBIP_CMD_SUBMIT):
- Maps USBIP_URB_* to URB_* when it receives USBIP_CMD_SUBMIT packet.

Flags aren't included in USBIP_CMD_UNLINK and USBIP_RET_SUBMIT packets
and no special handling is needed for them in the following cases:

- Server rx path (USBIP_CMD_UNLINK)
- Client rx path & Server tx path (USBIP_RET_SUBMIT)

Update protocol documentation to reflect the change.

USB/IP protocol
===============
Architecture
============
The USB/IP protocol follows a server/client architecture. The server exports the
USB devices and the clients import them. The device driver for the exported
USB device runs on the client machine.
The client may ask for the list of the exported USB devices. To get the list the
client opens a TCP/IP connection to the server, and sends an OP_REQ_DEVLIST
packet on top of the TCP/IP connection (so the actual OP_REQ_DEVLIST may be sent
in one or more pieces at the low level transport layer). The server sends back
the OP_REP_DEVLIST packet which lists the exported USB devices. Finally the
TCP/IP connection is closed.
::

(imports USB devices) (exports USB devices)
| |
| OP_REQ_DEVLIST |
| ----------------------------------------------> |
| |
| OP_REP_DEVLIST |
| <---------------------------------------------- |
| |
Once the client knows the list of exported USB devices it may decide to use one
of them. First the client opens a TCP/IP connection to the server and
sends an OP_REQ_IMPORT packet. The server replies with OP_REP_IMPORT. If the
import was successful the TCP/IP connection remains open and will be used
to transfer the URB traffic between the client and the server. The client may
send two types of packets: the USBIP_CMD_SUBMIT to submit an URB, and
USBIP_CMD_UNLINK to unlink a previously submitted URB. The answers of the
server may be USBIP_RET_SUBMIT and USBIP_RET_UNLINK respectively.

For UNLINK, note that after a successful USBIP_RET_UNLINK, the unlinked URB
submission would not have a corresponding USBIP_RET_SUBMIT (this is explained in
function stub_recv_cmd_unlink of drivers/usb/usbip/stub_rx.c).

The fields are in network (big endian) byte order meaning that the most significant
byte (MSB) is stored at the lowest address.

The documented USBIP version is v1.1.1. The binary representation of this
version in message headers is 0x0111.
This is defined in tools/usb/usbip/configure.ac

The following four commands have a common basic header called
'usbip_header_basic', and their headers, called 'usbip_header' (before
transfer_buffer payload), have the same length, therefore paddings are needed.
