This series fixes a mostly benign unthrottle race. Included is also
preparatory patch replacing an unnecessary atomic allocation and a
related variable declaration cleanup.

The unthrottle callback is allowed to sleep so pass the correct GFP flag
to usb_submit_urb() to avoid unnecessary atomic allocations.

If the completion handler races with unthrottle() both functions may try
to resubmit the same interrupt-in urb, but at most one will succeed.

Fix the unthrottle logic using a throttle-requested flag so that only
one attempt to resubmit the urb is made to avoid logging an error.

Three functions are initialising their return value variables at
declaration only to later assign them unconditionally.
