Subject: usb: Do not allow usb_alloc_streams on unconfigured devices

commit 90a646c770c50cc206ceba0d7b50453c46c13c36 upstream.

This commit fixes the following oops:

[10238.622067] scsi host3: uas_eh_bus_reset_handler start
[10240.766164] usb 3-4: reset SuperSpeed USB device number 3 using xhci_hcd

[10251.059808]  [<ffffffff815163b7>] scsi_eh_bus_reset+0xf7/0x270
<snip>

The problem is the following call sequence (simplified):

1) usb_reset_device
2)  usb_reset_and_verify_device
2)   hub_port_init
3)    hub_port_finish_reset
3)     xhci_discover_or_reset_device
        This frees xhci->devs[slot_id]->eps[ep_index].ring for all eps but 0
4)    usb_get_device_descriptor
       This fails
5)   hub_port_init fails
6)  usb_reset_and_verify_device fails, does not restore device config
7)  uas_post_reset
8)   xhci_alloc_streams
      NULL deref on the free-ed ring

This commit fixes this by not allowing usb_alloc_streams to continue if
the device is not configured.

Note that we do allow usb_free_streams to continue after a (logical)
disconnect, as it is necessary to explicitly free the streams at the xhci
controller level.
