[PATCH] usbcore: Don't assume a USB configuration includes any interfaces

[Alan Stern <stern@rowland.harvard.edu>]

In a couple of places, usbcore assumes that a USB device configuration 
will have a nonzero number of interfaces.  Having no interfaces may or may 
not be allowed by the USB spec; in any event we shouldn't die if we 
encounter such a thing.  This patch (as662) removes the assumptions.
