If usb_get_bos_descriptor() returns an error, usb->bos will be NULL.
Nevertheless, it is dereferenced unconditionally in
hub_set_initial_usb2_lpm_policy() if usb2_hw_lpm_capable is set.
This results in a crash.

Since we don't know anything about LPM capabilities without BOS descriptor,
don't attempt to enable LPM if it is not available.
