In usb_reset_and_verify_device(), hub_port_init() allocates a new bos

In the original code, none of the two descriptors was deallocated leading
to memory leaks.
This patch compares the old bos descriptor with the new one to detect change
in firmware and releases the newly allocated bos descriptor to prevent memory
leak.
