USB: remove the auto_pm flag
This patch (as1302) removes the auto_pm flag from struct usb_device. The flag's only purpose was to distinguish between autosuspends and external suspends, but that information is now available in the pm_message_t argument passed to suspend methods.

External suspend calls should never be allowed to fail in this way,
only autosuspend calls. The driver can tell them apart by checking

Many of the ingredients in the autosuspend framework are oriented
towards interfaces: The usb_interface structure contains the
pm_usage_cnt field, and the usb_autopm_* routines take an interface
pointer as their argument. But somewhat confusingly, a few of the
-pieces (usb_mark_last_busy() and udev->auto_pm) use the usb_device
-structure instead. Drivers need to keep this straight; they can call
