USB: Don't fail USB3 probe on missing legacy PCI IRQ.

Browse source 
Intel has a PCI USB xhci host controller on a new platform. It doesn't
have a line IRQ definition in BIOS.  The Linux driver refuses to
initialize this controller, but Windows works well because it only depends
on MSI.

Actually, Linux also can work for MSI.  This patch avoids the line IRQ
checking for USB3 HCDs in usb core PCI probe.  It allows the xHCI driver
to try to enable MSI or MSI-X first.  It will fail the probe if MSI
enabling failed and there's no legacy PCI IRQ.

This patch should be backported to kernels as old as 2.6.32.
