When an in-use webcam is disconnected, I noticed the following messages: uvcvideo: Failed to resubmit video URB (-19). -19 is -ENODEV, which does make sense given that the device has disappeared. We could put a case for -ENODEV like we have with -ENOENT, -ECONNRESET and -ESHUTDOWN, but the usb_unlink_urb() API documentation says that 'The disconnect function should synchronize with a driver's I/O routines to insure that all URB-related activity has completed before it returns.' So we should make an effort to proactively kill URBs in the disconnect path instead. Call uvc_enable_video() (specifying 0 to disable) in the disconnect path, which kills and frees URBs.
