It is possible to receive ESHUTDOWN without being disconnected. For
instance, a race with suspend could cause it to happen (although if your
driver is written correctly that race should never occur). Another more
likely scenario is that you have an active URB while calling
usb_set_interface(); the endpoints for the old altsetting get disabled and
the URB returns with an ESHUTDOWN error.
