They could be removed, but leaving them in place stops the code from 
trying to unlink URBs that haven't been submitted yet.  They don't do 
any harm, so they may as well stay.

The same is true for -ENODEV.  And in fact, those error messages do
show up if you unplug a USB flash drive while a data transfer is in
progress.  Do you think checks for both values should be added in this
patch, or just -EIDRM?
