usb: forbid memory allocation with I/O during bus reset

If one storage interface or usb network interface(iSCSI case) exists in
current configuration, memory allocation with GFP_KERNEL during
usb_device_reset() might trigger I/O transfer on the storage interface
itself and cause deadlock because the 'us->dev_mutex' is held in
.pre_reset() and the storage interface can't do I/O transfer when the
reset is triggered by other interface, or the error handling can't be
completed if the reset is triggered by the storage itself (error
handling path).
