[PATCH] USB: revert "fix" to usb_set_interface()
This reverts a recent change to usb_set_interface(). The change worked
around a quirk in certain devices, but doing this in usbcore creates
needless regressions for other devices. More appropriate fixes won't
put such handling in usbcore.
Basically it's tricky to do a full software reset of USB device state, since
the devices don't all act the same. This adds a note to the kerneldoc for
the usb_reset_configuration() call to highlight the quirk this was working
around: endpoint data toggles not being reset.
