USB: fix bugs in usb_(de)authorize_device
This patch (as1315) fixes some bugs in the USB core authorization
code:
usb_deauthorize_device() should deallocate the device strings
instead of leaking them, and it should invoke
usb_destroy_configuration() (which does proper reference
counting) instead of freeing the config information directly.
usb_authorize_device() shouldn't change the device strings
until it knows that the authorization will succeed, and it should
autosuspend the device at the end (having autoresumed the
device at the start).
Because the device strings can be changed, the sysfs routines
to display the strings must protect the string pointers by
locking the device.
