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.
