Input: yealink - abort URB submission on fatal errors

This commit modifies URB error handling in the yealink driver to abort
submission on fatal errors like -ECONNRESET. For non-fatal errors, it skips
processing and attempts to rate-limit console messages while resubmitting.

[Severity: High]
Does this goto cause an unbreakable infinite loop when a non-fatal error
occurs?

Because this skips yealink_do_idle_tasks(), the state machine no longer
advances. Since this directly resubmits the control URB without yielding or
advancing state, and because control URBs are not rate-limited by the host
controller's polling interval, will a persistently failing USB device trap
the CPU in a tight softirq spin? 

Could this trigger the exact RCU stall this patch intended to fix?

[Severity: High]
Does this introduce a similar infinite loop in the control URB callback?

Previously, if a non-fatal error occurred, the switch statement below could
evaluate to CMD_KEYPRESS or CMD_SCANCODE, which would submit the rate-limited
interrupt URB (urb_irq). 

By unconditionally resubmitting urb_ctl here and jumping to out, we bypass
the normal state machine progression and continuously submit the
non-rate-limited control URB. Can this lead to an un-throttled CPU spin if
the device repeatedly returns a non-fatal hardware error?
