The below idea may help the problem which 'memalloc_noio' flag isn't set during
usb_reset_device().

- for usb mass storage device, call pm_runtime_set_memalloc_noio(true)
  inside usb_stor_probe2() and uas_probe(), and call
  pm_runtime_set_memalloc_noio(false) inside uas_disconnect()
  and usb_stor_disconnect().

- for usb network device, register_netdev() is always called inside usb
  interface's probe(),  looks no such problem.
