rhel7: systemd-udevd: error opening USB device 'descriptors' file

Solution In Progress - Updated -

Issue

When disconnecting a USB device we see this sometimes in logs:

kernel: usb 1-1.6: USB disconnect, device number 3
systemd-udevd: error opening USB device 'descriptors' file

Occurs when USB devices are disconnected (e.g. the virtual USB keyboard of the remote video redirection on servers).
