The current USB offload implementation couples the allocation of xHCI
sideband interrupters with the device's offload usage counter. This
coupling is conceptually incorrect, as hardware resource availability
and power management state serve distinct purposes.
Furthermore, the reliance on the coarse USB device lock for offload
state updates has led to potential recursive locking issues,
especially during device disconnect when the lock is already held
by the USB core.
This series refactors the offload synchronization by introducing a
dedicated spinlock for offload state, allowing for more granular
concurrency control and avoiding deadlocks. It also optimizes power
management by ensuring that offload state is only modified when the
device is already active, avoiding unnecessary auto-resumes.
Patch 1 introduces the `offload_lock` spinlock and `offload_pm_locked`
synchronization, replacing the coarse `udev->lock` and the legacy
`offload_at_suspend` flag. It also updates `usb_offload_get/put` to use
`pm_runtime_get_if_active()`.
Patch 2 removes the implicit usage tracking from the xHCI sideband layer
and delegates the responsibility to class drivers, who have the
correct context for managing offload data stream activity.

Changes in v3:
- Replace the coarse USB device lock with a dedicated `offload_lock`
spinlock to reduce contention and prevent recursive locking.
- Introduce `offload_pm_locked` to synchronize with PM transitions and
replace the legacy `offload_at_suspend` flag.
- Optimize `usb_offload_get/put` by switching from auto-resume/suspend
to `pm_runtime_get_if_active()`, avoiding unnecessary power transitions.
- Explicitly delegate `offload_usage` tracking to USB class drivers
(e.g., the Qualcomm USB audio offload driver).
