[This is upstream commit 2d4fa940f99663c82ba55b2244638833b388e4e2.
It needs to be backported to kernels as old as 3.2, because it fixes the
buggy commit 65bdac5effd15d6af619b3b7218627ef4d84ed6a "USB: Handle warm
reset failure on empty port."]
The next patch will refactor the hub port code to rip out the recursive
call to hub_port_reset on a failed hot reset. In preparation for that,
make sure all code paths can deal with being called with a NULL udev.
The usb_device will not be valid if warm reset was issued because a port
transitioned to the Inactive or Compliance Mode on a device connect.
This patch should have no effect on current behavior.
