Subject: [PATCH] usb: hub: add I/O error retry & reset routine

An URB submission error in the HUB's endpoint completion function
renders the whole HUB device unresponsive. This patch introduces a
routine that retries the submission for 1s to then, as a last resort,
reset the whole device.

The implementation is based on usbhid/hid_core.c's, which implements the
same functionality. It was tested with the help of BCC's error injection
tool (inject.py).
