USB: Export if an interface driver supports autosuspend.
Create a new sysfs file per interface named supports_autosuspend.  This
file returns true if an interface driver's .supports_autosuspend flag is
set.  It also returns true if the interface is unclaimed (since the USB
core will autosuspend a device if an interface is not claimed).

This new sysfs file will be useful for user space scripts to test whether
a USB device correctly auto-suspends.

+Description:
+		When read, this file returns 1 if the interface driver
+		for this interface supports autosuspend.  It also
+		returns 1 if no driver has claimed this interface, as an
+		unclaimed interface will not stop the device from being
+		autosuspended if all other interface drivers are idle.
+		The file returns 0 if autosuspend support has not been
+		added to the driver.
