Update dev_err() messages to report status (including success) for each
step of USB RX HALT and TX HALT error recovery. If error recovery fails,
show the message:
stuck RX HALT state requires USB Reset Device to clear
or
stuck TX HALT state requires USB Reset Device to clear
This and related message revisions pertain to functions:
mceusb_defer_kevent() error handler dispatcher
mceusb_deferred_kevent() error handler itself
This patch just affects RX and TX HALT error handling and recovery
reporting.
A possible future patch may enable the mceusb driver to attempt
itself usb_reset_device() when necessary.

As seen on very rare occasions with mceusb device 2304:0225
[59388.696941] mceusb 1-1.1.2:1.0: Error: urb status = -32 (RX HALT)
[59388.698838] mceusb 1-1.1.2:1.0: rx clear halt error -32
the device can get into RX or TX HALT state where usb_clear_halt()
also fails and also returns -EPIPE (HALT/STALL). After which,
all further mceusb device control and data I/O fails with HALT/STALL.
Cause and problem replication conditions are still unknown.

mceusb 2-1.4:1.0: Error: urb status = -32 (RX HALT)
...
for an unknown mceusb device, usb_clear_halt() apparently can return
false success. After which, RX HALT immediately reoccurs resulting in
a RX halt and clear halt infinite loop and message flooding. Again,
cause and problem replication conditions remain unknown.
After observing a rx clear halt fault with mceusb 2304:0225, further
troubleshooting reveals usb_reset_device() is able to restore device
functionality.

Additional findings are "modprobe -r mceusb" and "modprobe mceusb"
are unable to clear stuck RX or TX HALT state.
Attempts to call usb_reset_endpoint() and usb_reset_configuration()
from within the mceusb driver also did not clear stuck HALTs.
A possible future patch could have the mceusb call usb_reset_device()
on itself, when necessary. Limiting the number of HALT error recovery
attempts may also be necessary to prevent halt/clear-halt loops.
Unresolved for now, deadlock complications occur if mceusb's worker
thread, mceusb_deferred_kevent(), calls usb_reset_device(),
which calls mceusb_dev_disconnect(), which calls cancel_work_sync(),
which waits on the still active worker thread.
