    While stress testing a usb controller using a bind/unbind looop, the
    following error loop was observed.
    
    usb 7-1.2: new low-speed USB device number 3 using xhci-hcd
    usb 7-1.2: hub failed to enable device, error -108

    This continues forever. After adding tracebacks into the code,
    the call sequence leading to this is found to be as follows.

    kick_hub_wq() is called from hub_activate() even after failures to
    communicate with the hub. This results in an endless sequence of
    hub event -> hub activate -> wq trigger -> hub event -> ...
    
    Provide two solutions for the problem.
    
    - Only trigger the hub event queue if communication with the hub
      is successful.
    - After a suspend failure, only resume already suspended interfaces
      if the communication with the device is still possible.
    
    Each of the changes fixes the observed problem. Use both to improve
    robustness.
