USB: convert usb_hcd bitfields into atomic flags
This patch (as1393) converts several of the single-bit fields in struct usb_hcd to atomic flags. This is for safety's sake; not all CPUs can update bitfield values atomically, and these flags are used in multiple contexts. The flag fields that are set only during registration or removal can remain as they are, since non-atomic accesses at those times will not cause any problems. (Strictly speaking, the authorized_default flag should become atomic as well. I didn't bother with it because it gets changed only via sysfs. It can be done later, if anyone wants.)
