[PATCH] USB: fix race in autosuspend reschedule

This patch (as1002) fixes a small race which can occur when a driver
expects usbcore to reschedule an autosuspend request.  If the request
arrives too late, it won't be rescheduled.  The patch adds an extra
argument to autosuspend_check(), indicating that a reschedule is
needed no matter how much time has elapsed.

It also tries to avoid letting asynchronous changes to the value of
jiffies cause a delay to become negative, by caching a local copy of
the current time.
