When a broken USB accessory connects to a USB host, usbcore might
keep doing enumeration retries. If the host has a watchdog mechanism,
the kernel panic will happen on the host.

This patch provides an attribute early_stop to limit the numbers of retries
for each port of a hub. If a port was marked with early_stop attribute,
unsuccessful connection attempts will fail quickly. In addition, if an
early_stop port has failed to initialize, it will ignore all future
connection events until early_stop attribute is clear.
