USB: try to salvage lost power sessions
This patch (as1073) adds to khubd a way to recover from power-session interruption caused by transient connect-change or enable-change events. After the debouncing period, khubd attempts to do a USB-Persist-style reset or reset-resume. If it works, the connection will remain unscathed. The upshot is that we will be more immune to noise caused by EMI. The grace period is on the order of 100 ms, so this won't permit recovery from the "accidentally knocked the USB cable out of its socket" type of event, but it's a start. As an added bonus, if a device was suspended when the system goes to sleep then we no longer need to check for power-session interruptions when the system wakes up. Khubd will naturally see the status change while processing the device's parent hub and will do the right thing. The remote_wakeup() routine is changed; now it expects the caller to acquire the device lock rather than acquiring the lock itself.
