The steps taken by usb core to set a new interface is very different from
what is done on the xHC host side.

xHC hardware will do everything in one go. One command is used to set up
new endpoints, free old endpoints, check bandwidth, and run the new
endpoints.

All this is done by xHC when usb core asks the hcd to check for
available bandwidth. At this point usb core has not yet flushed the old
endpoints, which will cause use-after-free issues in xhci driver as
queued URBs are cancelled on a re-allocated endpoint.

To resolve this add a call to usb_disable_interface() which will flush
the endpoints before calling usb_hcd_alloc_bandwidth()

Additional checks in xhci driver will also be implemented to gracefully
handle stale URB cancel on freed and re-allocated endpoints

Please also update the kerneldoc for this function.  It should now 
specify that if the request fails, the original interface altsetting 
may be disabled.  Drivers cannot rely on any particular alternate 
setting being in effect after a failure.

Sure, thanks, will do
