[PATCH] USB: Eliminate wait following interface unregistration

[Greg KH <greg@kroah.com>]

Hi,

The following patch from Alan Stern <stern@rowland.harvard.edu> fixes a
bug in the current USB code that causes khubd to hang when a device is
removed from the system, thereby preventing any future USB device
changes (like adding or removing other devices) from happening.

Both Andrew and I can easily duplicate this bug against the current -bk
tree.

It's not a perfect fix, but it works for now, and I will spend the next
week working on restructuring the code so this is handled properly.

thanks,

greg k-h
