This is just a small optimization of the fix from the commit c605f3cdff53a743f6 ("usb: hub: take hub->hdev reference when processing from eventlist). We do not need to take the reference for each event. Instead we could get it when struct usb_hub is allocated and put it when it is released. By other words, we could handle it the same way as the reference for hub->intfdev. The motivation is that it will make the life easier when switching from khubd kthread to a workqueue.
