USB: change locking for device-level autosuspend
This patch (as1323) changes the locking requirements for usb_autosuspend_device(), usb_autoresume_device(), and usb_try_autosuspend_device(). This isn't a very important change; mainly it's meant to make the locking more uniform. The most tricky part of the patch involves changes to usbdev_open(). To avoid an ABBA locking problem, it was necessary to reduce the region protected by usbfs_mutex. Since that mutex now protects only against simultaneous open and remove, this posed no difficulty -- its scope was larger than necessary. And it turns out that usbfs_mutex is no longer needed in usbdev_release() at all. The list of usbfs "ps" structures is now protected by the device lock instead of by usbfs_mutex.
