USB device files are accessible in two ways: as files in usbfs and as
character device nodes.  The two paths are supposed to behave
identically, but they don't.  When the underlying USB device is
unplugged, disconnect signals are sent to processes with open usbfs
files (if they requested these signals) but not to processes with open
device node files.

This patch (as1104) fixes the bug by moving the disconnect-signalling
code into a common subroutine which is called from both paths.
Putting this subroutine in devio.c removes the only out-of-file
reference to struct dev_state, and so the structure's declaration can
be moved from usb.h into devio.c.

Finally, the new subroutine performs one extra action: It kills all
the outstanding async URBs.  (I'd kill the outstanding synchronous
URBs too, if there was any way to do it.)  In the past this hasn't
mattered much, because devices were unregistered from usbfs only
when they were disconnected.  But now the unregistration can also
occur whenever devices are unbound from the usb_generic driver.  At
any rate, killing URBs when a device is unregistered from usbfs seems
like a good thing to do.

Remove proc_bus export and variable itself. Using pathnames works fine
and is slightly more understandable and greppable.

<title>USB: make usbdevices export their device nodes instead of using a separate class</title>

o The "real" usb-devices export now a device node which can
  populate /dev/bus/usb.

o The usb_device class is optional now and can be disabled in the
  kernel config. Major/minor of the "real" devices and class devices
  are the same.

o The environment of the usb-device event contains DEVNUM and BUSNUM to
  help udev and get rid of the ugly udev rule we need for the class
  devices.

o The usb-devices and usb-interfaces share the same bus, so I used
  the new "struct device_type" to let these devices identify
  themselves. This also removes the current logic of using a magic
  platform-pointer.
  The name of the device_type is also added to the environment
  which makes it easier to distinguish the different kinds of devices
  on the same subsystem.

  It looks like this:
    add@/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.1/usb2/2-1
    ACTION=add
    DEVPATH=/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.1/usb2/2-1
    SUBSYSTEM=usb
    SEQNUM=1533
    MAJOR=189
    MINOR=131
    DEVTYPE=usb_device
    PRODUCT=46d/c03e/2000
    TYPE=0/0/0
    BUSNUM=002
    DEVNUM=004

This udev rule works as a replacement for usb_device class devices:
  SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ACTION=="add", ENV{DEVTYPE}=="usb_device", \
    NAME="bus/usb/$env{BUSNUM}/$env{DEVNUM}", MODE="0644"

Updated patch, which needs the device_type patches in Greg's tree.

I also got a bugzilla assigned for this. :)

The problem with remembering a user space process by its pid is that it is
possible that the process will exit, pid wrap around will occur.
Converting to a struct pid avoid that problem, and paves the way for
implementing a pid namespace.

Also since usb is the only user of kill_proc_info_as_uid rename
kill_proc_info_as_uid to kill_pid_info_as_uid and have the new version take
a struct pid.

When a filesystem decrements i_nlink to zero, it means that a write must be
performed in order to drop the inode from the filesystem.

We're shortly going to have keep filesystems from being remounted r/o between
the time that this i_nlink decrement and that write occurs.

So, add a little helper function to do the decrements.  We'll tie into it in a
bit to note when i_nlink hits zero.
