USB: don't lose mode switch events on suspended devices
This patch (as1268) changes the way usbcore handles child devices that undergo a disconnection and reconnection while the parent hub is suspended. Currently, if the child isn't enabled for remote wakeup we leave it alone, figuring that it will go through a reset-resume when somebody tries to use it. However this isn't a good approach if the reason for the disconnection is that the child decided to switch modes or in some other way alter its descriptors. In that case we want to re-enumerate it as soon as possible, not wait until somebody forces a reset-resume. To resolve the issue, this patch treats reconnected suspended child devices as though they had requested a remote wakeup, even if they weren't enabled for it. The mode switch or descriptor change will be detected during the reset part of the reset-resume, and the device will be re-enumerated immediately. The disadvantage of this change is that it will cause autosuspended devices to be resumed when the computer wakes up from a system sleep during which the root hub was reset or lost power. This shouldn't matter much; some people would even argue that autosuspended devices should _always_ be resumed when the system wakes up!
