Alan Stern eb764c4be1 USB: check serial-number string after device reset
This patch (as1048) extends the descriptor checking after a device is
reset.  Now the SerialNumber string descriptor is compared to its old
value, in addition to the device and configuration descriptors.

As a consequence, the kmalloc() call in usb_string() is now on the
error-handling pathway for usb-storage.  Hence its allocation type is
changed to GFO_NOIO.

Alan Stern feccc30d90 USB: remove CONFIG_USB_PERSIST setting
This patch (as1047) removes the USB_PERSIST Kconfig option, enabling
it permanently.  It also prevents the power/persist attribute from
being created for hub devices; there's no point in having it since
USB-PERSIST is always turned on for hubs.

Alan Stern b41a60eca8 USB: add power/persist device attribute
This patch (as920) adds an extra level of protection to the
USB-Persist facility.  Now it will apply by default only to hubs; for
all other devices the user must enable it explicitly by setting the
power/persist device attribute.

The disconnect_all_children() routine in hub.c has been removed and
its code placed inline.  This is the way it was originally as part of
hub_pre_reset(); the revised usage in hub_reset_resume() is
sufficiently different that the code can no longer be shared.
Likewise, mark_children_for_reset() is now inline as part of
hub_reset_resume().  The end result looks much cleaner than before.

The sysfs interface is updated to add the new attribute file, and
there are corresponding documentation updates.

Alan Stern 0458d5b4c9 USB: add USB-Persist facility
This patch (as886) adds the controversial USB-persist facility,
allowing USB devices to persist across a power loss during system
suspend.

The facility is controlled by a new Kconfig option (with appropriate
warnings about the potential dangers); when the option is off the
behavior will remain the same as it is now.  But when the option is
on, people will be able to use suspend-to-disk and keep their USB
filesystems intact -- something particularly valuable for small
machines where the root filesystem is on a USB device!
