kvaser_usb sets the driver's priv data to NULL before waiting for the
completion of outsdanding urbs. This can results 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 kvaser_usb_disconnect() at [3].
