Qemu assumes that when <linux/usbdevice_fs.h> is available, it can
build its USBFS code. However, some systems have
<linux/usbdevice_fs.h>, but it doesn't provide all the definitions
that Qemu needs, causing a build failure.
In order to fix this, we introduce a Qemu patch that improves the
check that determines whether USBFS support should be enabled or not.
Fixes:

+Subject: [PATCH] configure: improve usbfs check
+
+The current check to test if usbfs support should be compiled or not
+solely relies on the presence of <linux/usbdevice_fs.h>, without
+actually checking that all definition used by Qemu are provided by
+this header file.
+
+With sufficiently old kernel headers, <linux/usbdevice_fs.h> may be
+present, but some of the definitions needed by Qemu may not be
+available.
+
+This commit improves the check by building a small program that
+actually tests whether the necessary definitions are available.
+
+In addition, it fixes a bug where have_usbfs was set to "yes"
+regardless of the result of the test.
