[PATCH] usbip: tools: support SuperSpeed Plus devices

USB/IP reads a remote device's speed from the server-side sysfs
"speed" attribute. read_attr_speed() converts the string to
enum usb_device_speed before the value is sent to the client.

The conversion table only recognizes 5000 Mbps. Devices reporting
10000 or 20000 Mbps are therefore sent as USB_SPEED_UNKNOWN. The
client then selects a USB 2.0 VHCI port, and the kernel rejects the
attach request because USB_SPEED_UNKNOWN is not a supported speed.

Map both SuperSpeed Plus sysfs values to USB_SPEED_SUPER_PLUS and
select the SuperSpeed VHCI hub for that speed.

The issue was reproduced with the following server hardware:

xHCI controller: Intel 8086:a0ed, revision 20
Subsystem: Lenovo 17aa:382a
USB device: Silicon Motion 090c:2320 mass storage
sysfs speed: 10000 Mbps

Before the change:

$ usbip attach -r 10.20.12.170 -b 2-2
usbip: error: import device

After the change, the device attaches and uses usb-storage:

$ usbip port
Port 08: <Port in Use> at Super Speed(5000Mbps)
8-1 -> usbip://10.20.12.170:3240/2-2

VHCI currently exposes the imported device as SuperSpeed, so the
client reports 5000 Mbps instead of 10000 Mbps. This is a separate
speed-reporting limitation and does not prevent attachment or I/O.
