This fixes some awkward, and perhaps even problematic, RCU lock usage in the
NetLabel code as well as some other related trivial cleanups found when
looking through the RCU locking. Most of the changes involve removing the

interface is registered, its driver may call usb_set_interface() and
thereby cause the sysfs files to be created. The result is an error

The (not-so-great) solution is to have usb_set_configuration() remove
