USB: add usbfs ioctl to retrieve the connection speed
The usbfs interface does not provide any way for the user to learn the speed at which a device is connected. The current API includes a USBDEVFS_CONNECTINFO ioctl, but all it provides is the device's address and a one-bit value indicating whether the connection is low speed. That may have sufficed in the era of USB-1.1, but it isn't good enough today. This patch introduces a new ioctl, USBDEVFS_GET_SPEED, which returns a numeric value indicating the speed of the connection: unknown, low, full, high, wireless, super, or super-plus. Similar information (not exactly the same) is available through sysfs, but it seems reasonable to provide the actual value in usbfs.
