USB: Gadget: core: Help prevent panic during UVC unconfigure

Browse Source 
Avichal Rakesh reported a kernel panic that occurred when the UVC
gadget driver was removed from a gadget's configuration.  The panic
involves a somewhat complicated interaction between the kernel driver
and a userspace component (as described in the Link tag below), but
the analysis did make one thing clear: The Gadget core should
accomodate gadget drivers calling usb_gadget_deactivate() as part of
their unbind procedure.

Currently this doesn't work.  gadget_unbind_driver() calls
driver->unbind() while holding the udc->connect_lock mutex, and
usb_gadget_deactivate() attempts to acquire that mutex, which will
result in a deadlock.

The simple fix is for gadget_unbind_driver() to release the mutex when
invoking the ->unbind() callback.  There is no particular reason for
it to be holding the mutex at that time, and the mutex isn't held
while the ->bind() callback is invoked.  So we'll drop the mutex
before performing the unbind callback and reacquire it afterward.

We'll also add a couple of comments to usb_gadget_activate() and
usb_gadget_deactivate().  Because they run in process context they
must not be called from a gadget driver's ->disconnect() callback,
which (according to the kerneldoc for struct usb_gadget_driver in
include/linux/usb/gadget.h) may run in interrupt context.  This may
help prevent similar bugs from arising in the future.
