usb: f_ncm: only first packet of aggregate needs to start timer
The reasoning for this change is that if we already had a packet pending, then we also already had a pending timer, and as such there is no need to reschedule it. This also prevents packets getting delayed 60 ms worst case under a tiny packet every 290us transmit load, by keeping the timeout always relative to the first queued up packet. (300us delay * 16KB max aggregation / 80 byte packet =~ 60 ms) As such the first packet is now at most delayed by 300us. Under low transmit load, this will simply result in us sending a shorter aggregate, as originally intended. This patch has the benefit of greatly reducing (by ~10 factor with 1500 byte frames aggregated into 16 kiB) the number of (potentially pretty costly) updates to the hrtimer.
