Hi,

This patch modified uas_post_reset to skip rebind operation to avoid exception while -ENODEV happens not drop error.
If uas_post_reset happens -ENODEV, usb_reset_and_verify_device must happen error.
So,when we use ioctl(USBDEVFS_RESET) to reset device, if usb_reset_and_verify_device happens error, the error will be reported through ioctl return value.
