It will be called whenever the hub-status URB completes.

That's not quite correct; it can be called at other times too.  You'll 
see if you test with a UHCI controller.

Pointers to hub->urb get stored in several places.  For example, in
hcd.c you can see that rh_queue_status() makes hcd->status_urb point to
hub->urb.  That pointer then gets used in usb_hcd_poll_rh_status().
