USB: deprecate the power/level sysfs attribute
This patch (as1367) deprecates USB's power/level sysfs attribute in
favor of the power/control attribute provided by the runtime PM core.
The two attributes do the same thing.
It would be nice to replace power/level with a symlink to
power/control, but at the moment sysfs doesn't offer any way to do so.
