USB: keep count of unsuspended children

This patch (as818b) simplifies autosuspend processing by keeping track
of the number of unsuspended children of each USB hub.  This will
permit us to avoid a good deal of unnecessary work all the time; we
will no longer have to create a bunch of workqueue entries to carry
out autosuspend requests, only to have them fail because one of the
hub's children isn't suspended.

The basic idea is simple.  There already is a usage counter in the
usb_device structure for preventing autosuspends.  The patch just
increments that counter for every unsuspended child.  There's only one
tricky part: When a device disconnects we need to remember whether it
was suspended at the time (leave the counter alone) or not (decrement
the counter).
