Before a driver is probed, we want to disable USB 3.0 Link Power Management (LPM), in case the driver needs hub-initiated LPM disabled. After the probe finishes, we want to attempt to re-enable LPM, order to balance the LPM ref count. When a probe fails (such as when libusual doesn't want to bind to a USB 3.0 mass storage device), make sure to balance the LPM ref counts by re-enabling LPM. This patch should be backported to kernels as old as 3.5, that contain the commit 8306095fd2c1100e8244c09bf560f97aca5a311d "USB: Disable USB 3.0 LPM in critical sections."
