USB: don't ignore suspend errors for root hubs

commit cd4376e23a59a2adf3084cb5f4a523e6d5fd4e49 upstream.

This patch (as1532) fixes a mistake in the USB suspend code.  When the
system is going to sleep, we should ignore errors in powering down USB
devices, because they don't really matter.  The devices will go to low
power anyway when the entire USB bus gets suspended (except for
SuperSpeed devices; maybe they will need special treatment later).

However we should not ignore errors in suspending root hubs,
especially if the error indicates that the suspend raced with a wakeup
request.  Doing so might leave the bus powered on while the system was
supposed to be asleep, or it might cause the suspend of the root hub's
parent controller device to fail, or it might cause a wakeup request
to be ignored.

The patch fixes the problem by ignoring errors only when the device in
question is not a root hub.
