[PATCH] USB: Superficial improvements to hub_port_debounce()

Since my previous suggestions for changes to hub_port_debounce()
encountered so much resistance, this patch makes some fairly superficial
improvements to the code while leaving the logic of the algorithm almost
completely intact.  The only behavioral change is that it actually
requests the port status at the start, rather than assuming the status is
not CONNECTED.  Changes include:

	Vastly improved comments that are now unambiguous and accurately
	descriptive of the code.

	Local variables changed to more sensible names.  The stability
	period is now reported in milliseconds rather than a meaningless
	poll count.

	The sleep interval is moved from the start of the loop to the
	end, so that the first time through we read the port status
	immediately.

	If the connection has not stabilized after the total timeout
	expires, -ETIMEDOUT is returned rather than whatever the
	current connect status happens to be.

	If the connection does stabilize then the port status is returned
	so that hub_port_connect_change() will have an up-to-date value
	for the status rather than relying on the pre-debounce value.

The changes I wanted to make but other people were worried about are
included as comments.  A later (small) patch will uncomment them for
testing.
