Follow is details for this patch.

Issue
- USB subsystem hangs if power off the hub port connecting UAS USB3.0/3.1 device by calling ioctl(USBDEVFS_CONTROL) to do Hub Class Request(CLEAR_FEATURE:PORT_POWER) while the device is being accessed. 
- Status of the process that is accessing the device becomes DEAD and cannot be killed.

Root Cause
- Block layer timeout happens after power off UAS USB device which is accessed as reproduce step. During timeout error handler process, scsi host state becomes SHOST_CANCEL_RECOVERY that causes IO hangs up and lock cannot be released. And in final, usb subsystem hangs up.
Follow is function call:
blk_mq_timeout_work 
  â->scsi_times_out  (â means some functions are not listed before this function.)
    â-> scsi_eh_scmd_add(scsi_host_set_state to SHOST_RECOVERY) 
      â -> scsi_error_handler
        â-> uas_eh_device_reset_handler
            -> usb_lock_device_for_reset  <- take lock
              -> usb_reset_device
                â-> rebind = uas_post_reset (return 1 since ENODEV) 
                â-> usb_unbind_and_rebind_marked_interfaces (rebind=1)
                   â-> uas_disconnect  (scsi_host_set_state to SHOST_CANCEL_RECOVERY)
                        â -> scsi_queue_rq
                             -> scsi_host_queue_ready(return 0 causes IO hangs up.)
            -> usb_unlock_device          <- lock cannot be release since usb_reset_device not finish.


Countermeasure
- Make uas_post_reset doesnât return 1 when ENODEV returns from uas_configure_endpoints since usb_unbind_and_rebind_marded_interfaces doesnât need to do unbind/rebind operations in this situation.
blk_mq_timeout_work
  â->scsi_times_out  (â means some functions are not listed before this function.)
    â-> scsi_eh_scmd_add(scsi_host_set_state to SHOST_RECOVERY) 
      â -> scsi_error_handler
       â-> uas_eh_device_reset_handler (*1)
           -> usb_lock_device_for_reset  <- take lock
             -> usb_reset_device
               -> usb_reset_and_verify_device (return ENODEV and FAILED will be reported to *1)
               -> uas_post_reset returns 0 when ENODEV => rebind=0 
               -> usb_unbind_and_rebind_marked_interfaces (rebind=0)
           -> usb_unlock_device          <- release lock


We can get error(-ENODEV) at uas_eh_device_reset_handler from usb_reset_and_verify_device.
