hselasky 386ddae584 Improve USB polling mode by not locking any mutexes, asserting any
mutexes or using any callouts when active.

Trying to lock a mutex when KDB is active or the scheduler is stopped
can result in infinite wait loops. The same goes for calling callout
related functions which in turn lock mutexes.

If the USB controller at which a USB keyboard is connected is idle
when KDB is entered, polling the USB keyboard via USB will always
succeed. Else polling may fail depending on which state the USB
subsystem and USB interrupt handler is in. This is unavoidable unless
KDB can wait for USB interrupt threads to complete before stalling the
CPU(s).
