Subject: usb: hub: do not clear BOS field during reset device

commit d8f00cd685f5c8e0def8593e520a7fef12c22407 upstream.

In function usb_reset_and_verify_device, the old BOS descriptor may
still be used before allocating a new one. (usb_unlocked_disable_lpm
function uses it under the situation that it fails to disable lpm.)
So we cannot set the udev->bos to NULL before that, just keep what it
was. It will be overwrite when allocating a new one.
