USB: EHCI: support running URB giveback in tasklet context

All 4 transfer types can work well on EHCI HCD after switching to run
URB giveback in tasklet context, so mark all HCD drivers to support
it.

Also we don't need to release ehci->lock during URB giveback any more.

>From below test results on 3 machines(2 ARM and one x86), time
consumed by EHCI interrupt handler droped much without performance
loss.

1 test description
1.1 mass storage performance test:
- run below command 10 times and compute the average performance

    dd if=/dev/sdN iflag=direct of=/dev/null bs=200M count=1

- two usb mass storage device:
A: sandisk extreme USB 3.0 16G(used in test case 1 & case 2)
B: kingston DataTraveler G2 4GB(only used in test case 2)

1.2 uvc function test:
- run one simple capture program in the below link

   http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~ming/up/capture.c

- capture format 640*480 and results in High Bandwidth mode on the
uvc device: Z-Star 0x0ac8/0x3450

- on T410(x86) laptop, also use guvcview to watch video capture/playback

1.3 about test2 and test4
- both two devices involved are tested concurrently by above test items

1.4 how to compute irq time(the time consumed by ehci_irq)
- use trace points of irq:irq_handler_entry and irq:irq_handler_exit

1.5 kernel
3.10.0-rc3-next-20130528

1.6 test machines
Pandaboard A1: ARM CortexA9 dural core
Arndale board: ARM CortexA15 dural core

* On T410, sometimes read ehci status register in ehci_irq takes more
than 100us, and the problem has been reported on the link:
