So you will require the completion handler to unmoor its URBs.  The idea 
seems sound enough, although the patch itself contains a couple of small 
errors (see below).  The real problem is that any drivers relying on 
usb_kill_anchored_urbs will still have to be fixed up by hand.

Also, it's not a good idea to store the new flag in urb->transfer_flags.  
Accessing bitflags without proper locking isn't SMP-safe.  Maybe you can 
use some of the bits in urb->reject instead.

Missing parens, and && instead of &.

Shouldn't be marked inline.

Extra space character.

Maybe move this line up before the check for !anchor.
