[PATCH 08/13] usb: reuse the addresses of removed devices

dev_index only ever counted up, so every device that showed up got an
address one higher than the previous one. Without device removal that
was fine - there is a limited number of devices on a bus - but once
devices come and go, the counter keeps climbing. USB addresses are 7 bit
wide, so after 127 devices usb_set_address() starts handing out values
that cannot be represented and enumeration breaks until the next reset.
Keep a bitmap of the addresses in use instead and hand back the address
when the device is freed. As a side effect an exhausted address space is
now reported instead of silently producing broken addresses.
