No, we should revert the change for
dwc3_gadget_ep_cleaup_completed_requests(). As I mentioned previously,
we don't cleanup the entire started_list. If the original problem is due
to disconnection in the middle of request completion, then we can just
check for pullup_connected and exit the loop and let the
dwc3_remove_requests() do the cleanup.
