[PATCH] USB: Disconnect children during hub unbind



This patch (as606b) is an updated version of my earlier patch to
disconnect children from a hub device when the hub driver is unbound.
Thanks to the changes in the driver core locking, we now know that the
entire hub device (and not just the interface) is locked whenever the
hub driver's disconnect method runs.  Hence it is safe to disconnect the
child device structures immediately instead of deferring the job.

The earlier version of the patch neglected to disable the hub's ports.
We don't want to forget that; otherwise we'd end up with live devices
using addresses that have been recycled.  This update adds the necessary
code.
