Dmitry Torokhov 6d101f24f1 USB: add usbfs ioctl to retrieve the connection parameters
Recently usfbs gained availability to retrieve device speed, but there
is sill no way to determine the bus number or list of ports the device
is connected to when using usbfs. While this information can be obtained
from sysfs, not all environments allow sysfs access. In a jailed
environment a program might be simply given an opened file descriptor to
usbfs device, and it is really important that all data can be gathered
from said file descriptor.

This patch introduces a new ioctl, USBDEVFS_CONNINFO_EX, which return
extended connection information for the device, including the bus
number, address, port list and speed. The API allows kernel to extend
amount of data returned by the ioctl and userspace has an option of
adjusting the amount of data it is willing to consume. A new capability,
USBDEVFS_CAP_CONNINFO_EX, is introduced to help userspace in determining
whether the kernel supports this new ioctl.
