USB: create new workqueue thread for USB autosuspend

This patch (as787) creates a new workqueue thread to handle delayed
USB autosuspend requests.  Previously the code used keventd.  However
it turns out that the hub driver's suspend routine calls
flush_scheduled_work(), making it a poor candidate for running in
keventd (the call immediately deadlocks).  The solution is to use a
new thread instead of keventd.
