USB: Add a sysfs file to show LTM capabilities.
USB 3.0 devices can optionally support Latency Tolerance Messaging (LTM). Add a new sysfs file in the device directory to show whether a device is LTM capable. This file will be present for both USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 devices. Signed-off-by: Sarah Sharp <sarah.a.sharp@linux.intel.com>

+Description:
+ USB 3.0 devices may optionally support Latency Tolerance
+ Messaging (LTM). They indicate their support by setting a bit
+ in the bmAttributes field of their SuperSpeed BOS descriptors.
+ If that bit is set for the device, ltm_capable will read "yes".
+ If the device doesn't support LTM, the file will read "no".
+ The file will be present for all speeds of USB devices, and will
+ always read "no" for USB 1.1 and USB 2.0 devices.
