[PATCH v5 1/3] USB: core: add NO_LPM quirk for Razer Kiyo Pro webcam

The Razer Kiyo Pro (1532:0e05) is a USB 3.0 UVC webcam whose firmware
does not handle USB Link Power Management transitions reliably. When LPM
is active, the device can enter a state where it fails to respond to
control transfers, producing EPIPE (-32) errors on UVC probe control
SET_CUR requests. In the worst case, the stalled endpoint triggers an
xHCI stop-endpoint command that times out, causing the host controller
to be declared dead and every USB device on the bus to be disconnected.

This has been reported as Ubuntu Launchpad Bug #2061177. The failure
mode is:

1. UVC probe control SET_CUR returns -32 (EPIPE)
2. xHCI host not responding to stop endpoint command
3. xHCI host controller not responding, assume dead
4. All USB devices on the affected xHCI controller disconnect

Disabling LPM prevents the firmware from entering the problematic low-
power states that precede the stall. This is the same approach used for
other webcams with similar firmware issues (e.g., Logitech HD Webcam C270).
