[PATCH] USB: Remove USB private semaphore

This patch (as605) removes the private udev->serialize semaphore,
relying instead on the locking provided by the embedded struct device's
semaphore.  The changes are confined to the core, except that the
usb_trylock_device routine now uses the return convention of
down_trylock rather than down_read_trylock (they return opposite values
for no good reason).

A couple of other associated changes are included as well:

Now that we aren't concerned about HCDs that avoid using the
hcd glue layer, usb_disconnect no longer needs to acquire the
usb_bus_lock -- that can be done by usb_remove_hcd where it
belongs.

Devices aren't locked over the same scope of code in
usb_new_device and hub_port_connect_change as they used to be.
This shouldn't cause any trouble.

Along with the preceding driver core patch, this needs a lot of testing.
