uhci: Retry to fill the queue while waiting for td completion

If the guest is using multiple transfers to try and keep the usb bus busy /
used at maximum efficiency, currently we would see / do the following:

1) submit transfer 1 to the device
2) submit transfer 2 to the device
3) report transfer 1 completion to guest
4) report transfer 2 completion to guest
5) submit transfer 1 to the device
6) report transfer 1 completion to guest
7) submit transfer 2 to the device
8) report transfer 2 completion to guest
etc.

So after the initial submission we would effectively only have 1 transfer
in flight, rather then 2. This is caused by us not checking the queue for
addition of new transfers by the guest (ie the resubmission of a recently
finished transfer), while waiting for a pending transfer to complete.
This patch does add a check for this, changing the sequence to:

1) submit transfer 1 to the device
2) submit transfer 2 to the device
3) report transfer 1 completion to guest
4) submit transfer 1 to the device
5) report transfer 2 completion to guest
6) submit transfer 2 to the device
etc.

Thus keeping 2 transfers in flight (most of the time, and always 1),
as intended by the guest.
