Since commit d4ead16f50f9 ("USB: prevent char device open/deregister
race") core prevents further calls to open() after usb_deregister_dev()
returns so there's no need to use the interface data for
synchronisation.
This effectively reverts commit 54d2bc068fd2 ("USB: fix locking in
idmouse") with respect to the open-disconnect race.
Note that the driver already uses a present flag to suppress I/O post
disconnect (even if all USB I/O take place at open).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
