Hot/Cold plug patch to fix USB Scanner/etc on boot issues

I had posted this patch on Gentoo's bugzilla, but apparently the
maintainer didn't apply it yet.  This one fixes the incorrect DEVICE
path reported on USB devices plugged in before the system is booted,
and "coldplugged" -- most notibly scanners.

Gentoo's Bug entry is:
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=83738
