When the USB device is unplugged, gs_can_close() (which implements the struct net_device_ops::ndo_stop callback) is called. In this function an attempt is made to shut down the USB device with a USB control message. For disconnected devices this will fail and a warning message is printed. Silence the driver by removing the printout of the error message if the reset command fails.
