[PATCH] usbmon: fix tiny race exposed by the fastboot patches

[Arjan van de Ven]

Subject: [PATCH] usbmon: fix tiny race exposed by the fastboot patches

usbmon registers the notifier chain, takes the bus lock
and then goes to scan the existing devices for hooking up.

unfortunately, if usb_mon gets initialized while USB bus discovery is going on,
it's possible that usbmon gets a notifier on one cpu (which runs without USB locks),
and the scan is going on and also finds the new bus, resulting in a double sysfs
registration, which then produces a WARNING.

Pete Zaitcev did the bug diagnostics on this one
