USB: fix invalid memory access in hub_activate()

commit e50293ef upstream.

Commit 8520f380 ("USB: change hub initialization sleeps to
delayed_work") changed the hub_activate() routine to make part of it
run in a workqueue.  However, the commit failed to take a reference to
the usb_hub structure or to lock the hub interface while doing so.  As
a result, if a hub is plugged in and quickly unplugged before the work
routine can run, the routine will try to access memory that has been
deallocated.  Or, if the hub is unplugged while the routine is
running, the memory may be deallocated while it is in active use.

This patch fixes the problem by taking a reference to the usb_hub at
the start of hub_activate() and releasing it at the end (when the work
is finished), and by locking the hub interface while the work routine
is running.  It also adds a check at the start of the routine to see
if the hub has already been disconnected, in which nothing should be
done.

(cherry picked from commit 10037421)
[wt: made a few changes :
  - adjusted context due to some autopm code being added only in 2.6.33
  - no device_{lock,unlock}() in 2.6.32, use up/down(&->sem) instead]
