Don't rely on event interrupt (EINT) bit alone to detect pending port

There is a lag in xHC setting EINT. If we don't notice the pending change
in resume, and the controller is runtime suspeded again, it causes the
event handler to assume host is dead as it will fail to read xHC registers
once PCI puts the controller to D3 state.

The EINT lag is described in a additional note in xhci specs 4.19.2:

"Due to internal xHC scheduling and system delays, there will be a lag
between a change bit being set and the Port Status Change Event that it
generated being written to the Event Ring. If SW reads the PORTSC and
sees a change bit set, there is no guarantee that the corresponding Port
Status Change Event has already been written into the Event Ring."

I tried to backport this patch to v4.15, and "xhci: Create new structures to store xhci port information" series is a dependency for this patch.

The series brings substantial changes, so I am wondering if you have any plan to backport this patch to older kernels?
