rtl8187: Use usb anchor facilities to manage urbs

When SLUB debugging is enabled in the kernel, and the boot command includes
the option "slub_debug=P", rtl8187 encounters a GPF due to a read-after-free
of a urb.

Following the example of changes in p54usb to fix the same problem, the code
has been modified to use the usb_anchor_urb() method. With this change, the
USB core handles the freeing of urb's.

This patch fixes the problem reported in Kernel Bugzilla #12185
(http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12185).
