Greg: This patch handles a rarely-encountered failure mode in usbcore. It's legal for device_add to fail (although now it happens even more rarely than before since failure to bind a driver is no longer fatal). So when we destroy the interfaces in a configuration, we shouldn't try to delete ones which weren't successfully registered. Also, failure to register an interface shouldn't be fatal either -- I think; you may disagree about this part of the patch.
Alan Stern P.S.: What do you think about giving the klist_node_attached calls a more descriptive name, like device_is_registered?
