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.
