[PATCH] USB: usblp: don't call usb_set_interface if there's a single alt

[Jeremy Figgins]

Some devices, such as the Winbond Electronics Corp. Virtual Com Port
(Vendor=0416, ProdId=5011), lockup when usb_set_interface() or
usb_clear_halt() are called. This device has only a single
altsetting, so it should not be necessary to call usb_set_interface().

An alternative fix was submitted previously as:

USB: usblp: add USBLP_QUIRK_NO_SETF_INTF flag

and this superscedes that patch. This is a different approach, so
I submitted it as a new patch, rather than adding a v2 to the first
one; I hope that was the correct thing to do in this case.

I am having some misgivings about it, but let's see if it works.
At worst, someone will complain and we'll revert to quirks.
