USB: Add helper macro for usb_driver boilerplate
This patch introduces the module_usb_driver macro which is a convenience macro for USB driver modules similar to module_platform_driver. It is intended to be used by drivers which init/exit section does nothing but register/unregister the USB driver. By using this macro it is possible to eliminate a few lines of boilerplate code per USB driver. Based on work done by Lars-Peter Clausen <lars@metafoo.de> for other busses (i2c and spi).
