Subject: usbip: prevent bind loops on devices attached to vhci_hcd

From: Shuah Khan <shuahkh@osg.samsung.com>

commit ef54cf0c600fb8f5737fb001a9e357edda1a1de8 upstream.

usbip host binds to devices attached to vhci_hcd on the same server
when user does attach over localhost or specifies the server as the
remote.

usbip attach -r localhost -b busid
or
usbip attach -r servername (or server IP)

Unbind followed by bind works, however device is left in a bad state with
accesses via the attached busid result in errors and system hangs during
shutdown.

Fix it to check and bail out if the device is already attached to vhci_hcd.
