uhci: Always mark a queue valid when we encounter it

Before this patch we would not mark a queue valid when its head was a
non-active td. This causes us to misbehave in the following scenario:

1) queue with multiple input transfers queued
2) We hit some latency issue, causing qemu to get behind processing frames
3) When qemu gets to run again, it notices the first transfer ends short,
marking the head td non-active
4) It now processes 32+ frames in a row without giving the guest a chance
to run since it is behind
5) valid is decreased to 0, causing the queue to get cancelled also cancelling
already queued up further input transfers
6) guest gets to run, notices the inactive td, cleanups up further tds
from the short transfer, and lets the queue continue at the first td of
the next input transfer
7) we re-start the queue, issuing the second input transfer for the second
time, and any data read by the first time we issued it has been lost
