Not quite -- it will see them the first time they are submitted, when
the submission succeeds.

Good idea.

I'd prefer to add extra information to the WARN_ONCE message. Even
though it would require the extra effort of correlating the dmesg
output with the usbmon output.

You know, it's possible that the URB really was not submitted before
but instead the urb->hcpriv field got overwritten. Of course, that
would also be a bug.
