usb: Fix race if transfers are submitted by a thread.

The USB pending transfer flag was cleared before calling the completion
callback, to allow the callback code to call submit_xfer() again.

Unfortunately this isn't safe in a multi-threaded environment, as another
thread may see the endpoint is available before the callback is done
executing and submit a new transfer.

Rather than adding extra locking, specifically treat the transfer as still
pending if checked from another thread while the callback is executing.

Closes micropython#874
