usb: hub: Fix error loop seen after hub communication errors

While stress testing a usb controller using a bind/unbind looop, the
following error loop was observed.

usb 7-1.2: new low-speed USB device number 3 using xhci-hcd
usb 7-1.2: hub failed to enable device, error -108
usb 7-1-port2: cannot disable (err = -22)
usb 7-1-port2: couldn't allocate usb_device
usb 7-1-port2: cannot disable (err = -22)
hub 7-1:1.0: hub_ext_port_status failed (err = -22)

hub 7-1:1.0: activate --> -22
hub 7-1:1.0: hub_ext_port_status failed (err = -22)

hub 7-1:1.0: hub_ext_port_status failed (err = -22)
** 57 printk messages dropped ** hub 7-1:1.0: activate --> -22
** 82 printk messages dropped ** hub 7-1:1.0: hub_ext_port_status failed (err = -22)

This continues forever. After adding tracebacks into the code,
the call sequence leading to this is found to be as follows.

kick_hub_wq() is called from hub_activate() even after failures to
communicate with the hub. This results in an endless sequence of
hub event -> hub activate -> wq trigger -> hub event -> ...

Provide two solutions for the problem.

- Only trigger the hub event queue if communication with the hub
  is successful.
- After a suspend failure, only resume already suspended interfaces
  if the communication with the device is still possible.

Each of the changes fixes the observed problem. Use both to improve
robustness.
