This commit resolves a bug in the selection/discovery of more
specific USB device drivers for devices that are currently bound to
generic USB device drivers.
The bug is in the logic that determines whether a device currently
bound to a generic USB device driver should be re-probed by a
more specific USB device driver or not. The code in
__usb_bus_reprobe_drivers() used to have the following lines:
if (usb_device_match_id(udev, new_udriver->id_table) == NULL &&
(!new_udriver->match || new_udriver->match(udev) != 0))
return 0;
ret = device_reprobe(dev);
As the reader will notice, the code checks whether the USB device in
consideration matches the identifier table (id_table) of a specific
USB device_driver (new_udriver), followed by a similar check, but this
time with the USB device driver's match function. However, the match
function's return value is not checked correctly. When match() returns
zero, it means that the specific USB device driver is *not* applicable
to the USB device in question, but the code then goes on to reprobe the
device with the new USB device driver under consideration. All this to
say, the logic is inverted.
This bug was found by code inspection and instrumentation while
investigating the root cause of the issue reported by Andrey Konovalov,
where usbip took over syzkaller's virtual USB devices in an undesired
manner. The report is linked below.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
