[PATCH v6 3/3] usb: hub: send enumeration failure uevent

Message-ID <[email protected]>
Emit a structured uevent when USB device enumeration fails in
hub_port_connect(), supplementing the existing error log with a
notification userspace can act on.

The event is emitted from the port's parent, the hub interface, because
usb_port devices have neither a bus nor a class and dev_uevent_filter()
drops any uevent sent from them. The failing port is named in the
payload.
