my feeling is that ->disconnect() should be called everytime we cause
the session to be killed. VBUS Turning off is a guaratee that session is
gone, but so is disconnecting data pullup, which is what
usb_gadget_disconnect() does.

Perhaps a better approach would be to start auditing all UDCs to make
sure that ->disconnect() is called when pullup is disconnected. Then we
can move ->disconnect() to usb_gadget_disconnect() itself. No?
