This turned out not to be an error in usb-storage but rather a nested
device reset attempt.  That is, as the rtl8712 driver was being
unbound from a composite device in preparation for an unrelated USB
reset (that driver does not have pre_reset or post_reset callbacks),
its ->remove routine called usb_reset_device() -- thus nesting one
reset call within another.

Performing a reset as part of disconnect processing is a questionable
practice at best.  However, the bug report points out that the USB
core does not have any protection against nested resets.  Adding a
reset_in_progress flag and testing it will prevent such errors in the
future.
