This is redundant, When we switch from PROTO_GADGET to PROTO_UNDEF
we do a usb_gadget_stop(), and a usb_gadget_disconnect() is done there.

This is redundant as well since usb_gadget_start() is doing a
usb_gadget_connect().

I have no strong opinions for or against usb_fsm->ops->loc_conn.
Although strictly speaking, we shouldn't take any action based on loc_conn.
It is just a state variable indicator.
