Subject: Re: [PATCH] Bluetooth: Call shutdown for HCI_USER_CHANNEL

Please avoid merging.

After additional testing, I've found a problem with btusb->shutdown
not working for Intel controllers.

btusb_shutdown_intel uses __hci_sync_cmd(...) to send the command and
the command complete will not get captured because it is using hci
user channel. We'll need a more invasive change to remove the
userchannel flag during close so that the stack can properly clean up.
