USB: don't let errors prevent system sleep
This patch (as1464) implements the recommended policy that most errors during suspend or hibernation should not prevent the system from going to sleep. In particular, failure to suspend a USB driver or a USB device should not prevent the sleep from succeeding: Failure to suspend a device won't matter, because the device will automatically go into suspend mode when the USB bus stops carrying packets. (This might be less true for USB-3.0 devices, but let's not worry about them now.) Failure of a driver to suspend might lead to trouble later on when the system wakes up, but it isn't sufficient reason to prevent the system from going to sleep.
