USB: obey the sysfs power/wakeup setting
This patch (as1403) is a partial reversion of an earlier change
(commit 5f677f1d45b2bf08085bbba7394392dfa586fa8e "USB: fix remote
wakeup settings during system sleep"). After hearing from a user, I
realized that remote wakeup should be enabled during system sleep
whenever userspace allows it, and not only if a driver requests it
too.
Indeed, there could be a device with no driver, that does nothing but
generate a wakeup request when the user presses a button. Such a
device should be allowed to do its job.
The problem fixed by the earlier patch -- device generating a wakeup
request for no reason, causing system suspend to abort -- was also
addressed by a later patch ("USB: don't enable remote wakeup by
default", accepted but not yet merged into mainline). The device
won't be able to generate the bogus wakeup requests because it will be
disabled for remote wakeup by default. Hence this reversion will not
re-introduce any old problems.
