USB: usb_debug, usb_generic_serial: implement multi urb write

The usb_debug driver, when used as the console, will always fail to
insert the carriage return and new line sequence as well as randomly
drop console output.  This is a result of only having the single
write_urb and that the tty layer will have a lock that prevents the
processing of the back to back urb requests.

The solution is to allow more than one urb to be outstanding and have
a slightly deeper transmit queue.  The idea and some code is borrowed
from the ftdi_sio usb driver.

The generic usb serial driver was modified so as to allow the classic
method of 1 write urb, or a multi write urb scheme with N allowed
outstanding urbs where N is controlled by max_in_flight_urbs.  When
max_in_flight_urbs in a "struct usb_serial_driver" is non zero the
multi write urb scheme will be used.

The size of 4000 was selected for the usb_debug driver so that the
driver lowers possibility of losing the queued console messages during
the kernel startup.
