USB: mutual exclusion for EHCI init and port resets
This patch (as999) fixes a problem that sometimes shows up when host controller driver modules are loaded in the wrong order. If ehci-hcd happens to initialize an EHCI controller while the companion OHCI or UHCI controller is in the middle of a port reset, the reset can fail and the companion may get very confused. The patch adds an rw-semaphore and uses it to keep EHCI initialization and port resets mutually exclusive.
