[ Upstream commit dcabc76fa9361186e6b88c30a68db8fa9d5b4a1c ]

xhci_disable_slot() is a helper for disabling a slot when a device goes away or recovers from error situations. Currently, it returns success when it sees a dead host. This is not the right way to go. It should return error and let the invoker know that disable slot command was failed due to a dead host.
