Subject: [PATCH v2] usb: hub: Fix unhandled return value of usb_autopm_get_interface()

Address below Coverity complaint (Feb 25, 2020, 8:06 AM CET):

*** CID 1458999:  Error handling issues  (CHECKED_RETURN)
/drivers/usb/core/hub.c: 1869 in hub_probe()
1863
1864            if (id->driver_info & HUB_QUIRK_CHECK_PORT_AUTOSUSPEND)
1865                    hub->quirk_check_port_auto_suspend = 1;
1866
1867            if (id->driver_info & HUB_QUIRK_DISABLE_AUTOSUSPEND) {
1868                    hub->quirk_disable_autosuspend = 1;
 >>>     CID 1458999:  Error handling issues  (CHECKED_RETURN)
 >>>     Calling "usb_autopm_get_interface" without checking return value (as is done elsewhere 97 out of 111 times).
1869                    usb_autopm_get_interface(intf);
1870            }
1871
1872            if (hub_configure(hub, &desc->endpoint[0].desc) >= 0)
1873                    return 0;
1874

Rather than checking the return value of 'usb_autopm_get_interface()',
switch to the usb_autpm_get_interface_no_resume() API, as per:
