mwifiex: skip delay main work logic for USB interface.
We had introduced delay main work logic to avoid processing interrupts when Rx pending packet count reaches high threshold. interrupt processing is restarted later when packet count reduces lower threashold. This helped to reduce unnecessary overhead and improve throughput for SD and PCIe chipsets. As there are no interrupts for USB, we will skip this logic for USB chipsets.
