usb: add usb_set_intfdata() documentation
USB drivers do not need to call usb_set_intfdata(intf, NULL) in their usb_driver::disconnect callback because the core already does it in [1]. However, this fact is widely unknown, c.f.: $ git grep "usb_set_intfdata(.*NULL)" | wc -l 215 Especially, setting the interface to NULL before all action completed can result in a NULL pointer dereference. Not calling usb_set_intfdata() at all in disconnect() is the safest method. Add documentation to usb_set_intfdata() to clarify this point. Also remove the call in usb-skeletion's disconnect() not to confuse the new comers.
