[patch] root_plug improvement

[patch] root_plug improvement

[Fred Emmott]

This patch makes the root_plug LSM module also check the serial number of the 
USB device. Without this, it's possible to use another USB device of the same 
brand + model as a root_plug device.

I am not familiar with the module interface, and have not added a paramater 
for specifying the serial_number, so it must be specified at compile time.

Sorry if this is the wrong place to send this.
