Subject: USB: gadgetfs: fix copy_to_user while holding spinlock
From: Alan Stern <stern@rowland.harvard.edu>
commit 6e76c01e71551cb221c1f3deacb9dcd9a7346784 upstream.
The gadgetfs driver as a long-outstanding FIXME, regarding a call of
copy_to_user() made while holding a spinlock. This patch fixes the
issue by dropping the spinlock and using the dev->udc_usage mechanism
introduced by another recent patch to guard against status changes
while the lock isn't held.
