I finally got around to looking at this patch.  Unfortunately, I don't
think it's quite the right fix.

The bandwidth allocation functions assume that streams are deallocated
before the interface is freed.  It will leak streams rings if it's
called otherwise.  So if usb_free_streams() isn't called before the USB
core calls usb_disable_interface(), then we'll leak all the streams
rings.  I think I need to spend some quality time with the UAS device to
see exactly what the right fix is.
