This series fixes lifetime issues that can lead to NULL pointer
dereferences and use-after-free.

Included are also two related cleanups.

Make sure to deregister the controller before dropping the reference to
the driver data on disconnect to avoid NULL-pointer dereferences or
use-after-free.

The vub300 driver maintains an explicit reference count for the
controller and its driver data and the last reference can in theory be
dropped after the driver has been unbound.

This specifically means that the controller allocation must not be
device managed as that can lead to use-after-free.

Note that the lifetime is currently also incorrectly tied the parent USB
device rather than interface, which can lead to memory leaks if the
driver is unbound without its device being physically disconnected (e.g.
on probe deferral).

Fix both issues by reverting to non-managed allocation of the controller.

Error labels should be named after what they do.

Rename the probe error labels.

Clean up module init by dropping redundant error messages (e.g.
allocation and USB driver registration failure will already have been
logged) and naming error labels after what they do.
