I believe this is the right thing to do, so usb_find_alt_setting()
is not called with a known-bad argument.

Honestly, I would change "if (!config)" in usb_find_alt_setting() to
"BUG_ON(!config)" so we know when its callers do smth wrong and go
fix callers. Unfortunately, I understand this hardly will be accepted.
