usb: Do not re-read descriptors for wired devices in usb_authorize_device()
This patch modifies the usb_authorize_device() function such as that it does
not reload the device descriptor for wired devices. The reasons for this
are as follows:
* Some devices dislike the master requesting the descriptor from them twice,
failing on the usb_get_device_descriptor() call with -ETIMEOUT. Observed this
on my Pretec 16GB flash drive (4146:ba65).
* Malicious device could send two different descriptors - one before
authorization, used by userspace to determine whether to authorize it and
second to be actually used by the kernel when determining which drivers to
bind.
