usb: core: Fix USB 3.0 devices lost in NOTATTACHED state after a hub port reset
commit fb6d1f7d upstream. Fix USB 3.0 devices lost in NOTATTACHED state after a hub port reset. Dissolve the function hub_port_finish_reset() completely and divide the actions to be taken into those which need to be done after each reset attempt and those which need to be done after the full procedure is complete, and place them in the appropriate places in hub_port_reset(). Also, remove an unneeded forward declaration of hub_port_reset(). Verbose Problem Description: USB 3.0 devices may be "lost for good" during a hub port reset. This makes Linux unable to boot from USB 3.0 devices in certain constellations of host controllers and devices, because the USB device is lost during initialization, preventing the rootfs from being mounted. The underlying problem is that in the affected constellations, during the processing inside hub_port_reset(), the hub link state goes from 0 to SS.inactive after the initial reset, and back to 0 again only after the following "warm" reset. However, hub_port_finish_reset() is called after each reset attempt and sets the state the connected USB device based on the "preliminary" status of the hot reset to USB_STATE_NOTATTACHED due to SS.inactive, yet when the following warm reset is complete and hub_port_finish_reset() is called again, its call to set the device to USB_STATE_DEFAULT is blocked by usb_set_device_state() which does not allow taking USB devices out of USB_STATE_NOTATTACHED state. Thanks to Alan Stern for guiding me to the proper solution and how to submit it.
