Subject: [100/107] USB: fix regression occurring during device removal

2.6.39-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Alan Stern <stern@...land.harvard.edu>

commit e534c5b831c8b8e9f5edee5c8a37753c808b80dc upstream.

This patch (as1476) fixes a regression introduced by
fccf4e86200b8f5edd9a65da26f150e32ba79808 (USB: Free bandwidth when
usb_disable_device is called).  usb_disconnect() grabs the
bandwidth_mutex before calling usb_disable_device(), which calls down
indirectly to usb_set_interface(), which tries to acquire the
bandwidth_mutex.

The fix causes usb_set_interface() to return early when it is called
for an interface that has already been unregistered, which is what
happens in usb_disable_device().
