But why do you get a port stalling?
It seems your hardware is quite broken.

Well, I am sorry, but no.

Your conceptual mistake is seeing the recovery from stall
as an indivisible process. It is not, as it has two parts.
Once your port is in a stall, you should send the feature
request to unblock the halt. There is no reason to cancel the
feature request if you close a port. You just need to refrain
from resubmitting the read URB.
In fact, if you were to be really comprehensive you need
to wait for the result of a feature request on the way
when you reopen a port.

And that is a race condition. Rekilling does not help reliably.
If your timing is unlucky enough any subsequent operation can be a nop.
A correct sequence would be something like

poison URBs -> cancel the works -> unpoison the URBs
