mcba_usb sets the usb_interface to NULL before waiting for the
completion of outstanding urbs. This can result in NULL pointer
dereference, c.f. [1] and [2].

Remove the call to usb_set_intfdata(intf, NULL). The core will take
care of setting it to NULL after mcba_usb_disconnect() at [3].

[1] commit 27ef17849779 ("usb: add usb_set_intfdata() documentation")
Link: https://git.kernel.org/gregkh/usb/c/27ef17849779

[2] thread about usb_set_intfdata() on linux-usb mailing.
Link: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-usb/Y4OD70GD4KnoRk0k@rowland.harvard.edu/

[3] function usb_unbind_interface() from drivers/usb/core/driver.c
Link: https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v6.0/source/drivers/usb/core/driver.c#L497
