staging: usbip: Process event flags without delay

The way the event handler works can cause it to delay
events until eventual wakeup for another event.

For example, on device detach (vhci):

 - Write to sysfs detach file
    -> usbip_event_add(VDEV_EVENT_DOWN)
      -> wakeup()

#define VDEV_EVENT_DOWN (USBIP_EH_SHUTDOWN | USBIP_EH_RESET).

 - Event thread wakes up and passes the event to
   event_handler() to process.

 - It processes and clears the USBIP_EH_SHUTDOWN
   flag then returns.

 - The outer event loop (event_handler_loop()) calls
   wait_event_interruptible().

The processing of the second flag which is part of
VDEV_EVENT_DOWN (USBIP_EH_RESET) did not happen yet.
It is delayed until the next event.

This means the ->reset callback may not happen for
a long time (if ever), leaving the usbip port in a
weird state which prevents its reuse.

This patch changes the handler to process all flags
before waiting for another wakeup.

I have verified this change to fix a problem which
prevented reattach of a usbip device. It also helps
for socket errors which missed the RESET as well.

The delayed event processing also affects the stub
side of usbip and the error handling there.
