Sure we can safely remove the detach_kernel here?

Assuming we have a device with multiple configurations, each
configuration has a different set of interfaces, guest switches from one
config to another.  Do we correctly unbind kernel / claim interfaces
then?

Handling this correctly was the reason to do the kernel unbind in
response to the guests set_config instead of host_open btw, although I
can see the issues the late unbind introduces.
