Subject: [PATCH 1/2] usb: hub: Mark root hubs on removable devices, as removable.

Currently all usb root hubs are always marked as DEVICE_REMOVABLE_UNKNOWN
unconditionally. Let us try to help the users to identify the removable
root hubs, by checking the device on which the root hub sits. If the base
(parent) device on which the root hub sits, is removable (e.g. on
thunderbolt docks), then the roothub is also marked as removable.
