[LTP] [PATCH 1/2] ioctl_sg01: Allow using USB device again

Thu Jan 22 18:12:32 CET 2026
The failures when the ioctl_sg01 test tried to query a USB device
turned out to be another data leak. Allow using USB devices again
but keep the improved device lookup algorithm.

Tested on kernels v4.4 and v6.12.
