    xhci: guard xhci_kick_epctx against recursive calls

    Track xhci_kick_epctx processing being active in a variable.  Check the
    variable before calling xhci_kick_epctx from xhci_kick_ep.  Add an
    assert to make sure we don't call recursively into xhci_kick_epctx.

to 2.8, to fix the CVE-2017-9375 in 2.8, it starts to fail at
startup with the assertion failure introduced in this commit:

 hw/usb/hcd-xhci.c:2169: xhci_kick_epctx: Assertion `!epctx->kick_active' 
failed.

The commit itself looks sane, but might be there were other
fixes before this one, on top of 2.8, required for it to
functioning properly?  I'm not sure I understand the xhci
machinery right.

Gerd, can you shed some light on this please?

Thank you!
