usbcore: help drivers to change device configs
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.

+ * Context: In process context, must be able to sleep
+ *
+ * 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
