usb: core: hub: hub_port_init lock controller instead of bus

The XHCI controller presents two USB buses to the system - one for USB2
and one for USB3. The hub init code (hub_port_init) is reentrant but
only locks one bus per thread, leading to a race condition failure when
two threads attempt to simultaneously initialise a USB2 and USB3 device:

[    8.034843] xhci_hcd 0000:00:14.0: Timeout while waiting for setup device command
[   13.183701] usb 3-3: device descriptor read/all, error -110

On a test system this failure occurred on 6% of all boots.

The call traces at the point of failure are:

Which results from the two call chains:

hub_port_init
 usb_get_device_descriptor
  usb_get_descriptor
   usb_control_msg
    usb_internal_control_msg
     usb_start_wait_urb
      usb_submit_urb / wait_for_completion_timeout / usb_kill_urb

hub_port_init
 hub_set_address
  xhci_address_device
   xhci_setup_device

Mathias Nyman explains the current behaviour violates the XHCI spec:

 hub_port_reset() will end up moving the corresponding xhci device slot
 to default state.

 As hub_port_reset() is called several times in hub_port_init() it
 sounds reasonable that we could end up with two threads having their
 xhci device slots in default state at the same time, which according to
 xhci 4.5.3 specs still is a big no no:

 "Note: Software shall not transition more than one Device Slot to the
  Default State at a time"

 So both threads fail at their next task after this.
 One fails to read the descriptor, and the other fails addressing the
 device.

Fix this in hub_port_init by locking the USB controller (instead of an
individual bus) to prevent simultaneous initialisation of both buses.
