When we disconnect usb cable from the host, we need to notify gadget module 
disconnection occurs, the gadget module may not be unloaded in future.

If the disconnection is not notified, the gadget module may still call
struct usb_ep_ops's API to visit hardware at its thread but the controller 
may already enter low power mode.

In fact, a common problem is how can we make sure the gadget will not
visit register if the controller enters low power mode, currently,
there is no prefect solution.
