USB: don't rebind drivers after failed resume or reset



This patch (as1152) may help prevent some problems associated with the
new policy of unbinding drivers that don't support suspend/resume or
pre_reset/post_reset.  If for any reason the resume or reset fails, and
the device is logically disconnected, there's no point in trying to
rebind the driver.  So the patch checks for success before carrying
out the unbind/rebind.

There was a report from one user that this fixed a problem he was
experiencing, but the details never became fully clear.  In any case,
adding these tests can't hurt.
