usb/114310: USB hub attachment panics kernel during libusb device scan

Here is the code I just used to panic it just now (requires libusb):
/////////// usbtest.c:
#include "/usr/local/include/usb.h"

int main(int argc, char **argv){
	while(1){
		usb_init ();
		usb_find_busses ();
		usb_find_devices ();
	}
	return 0;
}
//////////// Makefile:
CC=gcc
LD=ld
CFLAGS = -g -c -Wall

all: usbtest.o
	$(CC) -o usbtest usbtest.o /usr/local/lib/libusb.a

clean:
	rm -f usbtest usbtest.tgz *.o *~


It took me about 15 plug-in/unplug cycles to get it to crash
(sometimes as many as 30 during previous testing when I'm unlucky).
There's about a 200ms window during which the panic will occur, and
it's hard to say exactly when that is. You can probably add a printf
to given an indication of where in the loop you're plugging in the
hub, so you can change the timing around a bit.
