USB: use reset_resume when normal resume fails
This patch (as1109b) makes USB-Persist more resilient to errors. With the current code, if a normal resume fails, it's an unrecoverable error. With the patch, if a normal resume fails (and if the device is enabled for USB-Persist) then a reset-resume is tried. This fixes the problem reported in Bugzilla #10977.
