(userspace)
2) Request attach found port to driver through
/sys/devices/platform/vhci_hcd/attach. (userspace)
3) Lock table, reserve requested port and unlock table. (vhci driver)

number will be found in step-1. Then one request will succeed and
others will fail even though there are some unused ports.

With this patch, driver returns EBUSY when requested port has already
been used. In this case, attach command retries from step-1: finding
another unused port. If there's no unused port, the attach operation
will fail in step-1. Otherwise it retries automatically using another
unused port.
