[PATCH 7/8] can: usb_8dev: usb_8dev_disconnect(): fix NULL pointer dereference

usb_8dev sets the usb_interface to NULL before waiting for the
completion of outstanding urbs. This can result in NULL pointer
dereference, c.f. [1] and [2].

Remove the call to usb_set_intfdata(intf, NULL). The core will take
care of setting it to NULL after usb_8dev_disconnect() at [3].

[3] function usb_unbind_interface() from drivers/usb/core/driver.c
