[PATCH v2] cmd: usb: Prevent reset in usb tree/info command

   Commands causing reset in some configs:

When bootflow scan is run, this will cause a UCLASS_BOOTDEV device to
be added as sibling of those UCLASS_BLK devices found in the search
chain defined in environment variable "boot_targets", until boot
succeeds from some device. This can happen automatically as part of
the default boot process on some boards (example: Rock Pi 4) depending
on the board configuration (DISTRO_DEFAULTS, BOOTSTD, BOOTCOMMAND,
etc.) because they have bootcmd=bootflow scan.

If boot doesn't succeed from any device, and usb is in boot_targets,
and an usb storage device is plugged to some usb port at boot time,
its UCLASS_MASS_STORAGE device will have a UCLASS_BOOTDEV device as
child, besides a UCLASS_BLK child.

If once the boot fails the user enters at the U-Boot shell prompt:

usb info

or

usb tree

The code in cmd/usb.c will eventually recurse into the UCLASS_BOOTDEV
device and pass a null usb_device pointer to usb_show_tree_graph() or
usb_show_info() (because it has no parent_priv_).

This causes a reset. The expected behaviour would be to ignore the
UCLASS_BOOTDEV device, continue listing the usb information and return
to the prompt.


   Minimal test:

Another way to trigger this reset as a minimal test or on boards with
a different bootcmd would be:

- make sure "usb" is in environment variable boot_targets (might need
  setenv boot_targets usb; and/or saveenv and reset), then, with a usb
  storage device plugged to a usb port, run:

=> usb reset ; bootflow scan ; usb info


   Solution:

Fix it (twice) by checking for null parent_priv_ and adding
UCLASS_BOOTDEV to the list of ignored class ids before the recursive
call.

This prevents the current particular problem with UCLASS_BOOTDEV, even
in case it ever gets some parent_priv_ struct which is not an
usb_device, despite being the child of a usb_device->dev. And it also
prevents possible future problems if other children are added to usb
devices that don't have parent_priv_ because they are not part of the
usb tree, just abstractions of functionality (like UCLASS_BLK and
UCLASS_BOOTDEV are now).

v2: added UCLASS_BOOTDEV check (discussion of v1 dried up without much
    evident consensus, so hopefully Simon Glass likes it better now)

    Improved the commit message trying to follow Marek Vasut's advice.
