I should have noticed this problem before...

This was added in the wrong place.  It needs to come before the 
usb_stop_hcd(hcd) call, because usb_start_hcd(hcd) was run before we failed to 
register the shared hcd's root hub.

Furthermore, I don't think we need to stop the shared hcd at all.  At this 
point, the usb_add_hcd() call for the shared hcd has already returned 
successfully.  The usb_stop_hcd(shared_hcd) callback will be made automatically 
when the shared hcd is unregistered later on, after this function returns an 
error.

Come to think of it, don't we also need to modify the usb_disconnect(&rhdev) 
call in usb_remove_hcd() to handle the case where the root hub wasn't 
registered in the first place because it was deferred?  At the very least, we 
should test the hcd's rh_registered flag before trying to unregister the root 
hub.
