I added another panic fix.  An error was introduced in rev 1.94 on
ugen.c in the USB_SET_CONFIG ioctl case that calls
ugen_make_devnodes.  This causes a panic since this logic was moved
to ugen_set_config a while ago.  Removing the ugen_make_devnodes()
call from ugen_do_ioctl fixes the problem.  This bug made it trivial
to cause a panic when there was access to any ugen device.
