Maybe I am dense. The patch has the purpose of guarding against unload
during probe(). However this is needed during probe() itself only, as only
probe can and usually will sleep. usb_match_id() using the id_tables does
not need to guard against these tables being unloaded as usb_match_id()
does not sleep.
