usbcore: help drivers to change device configs

Browse Source 
It's generally a bad idea for USB interface drivers to try to change a
device's configuration, and usbcore doesn't provide any way for them
to do it.  However in a few exceptional circumstances it can make
sense.  This patch (as767) adds a roundabout mechanism to help drivers
that may need it.

*
* Device interface drivers are not allowed to change device configurations.
* This is because changing configurations will destroy the interface the
* driver is bound to and create new ones; it would be like a floppy-disk
* driver telling the computer to replace the floppy-disk drive with a
* tape drive!
*
* Still, in certain specialized circumstances the need may arise. This
* routine gets around the normal restrictions by using a work thread to
* submit the change-config request.
*
* Returns 0 if the request was succesfully queued, error code otherwise.
* The caller has no way to know whether the queued request will eventually
* succeed.
