usb: gadget: f_fs: check ffs->gadget in the DMABUF detach/find paths
This commit adds NULL checks on ffs->gadget in ffs_dmabuf_find_attachment()
and ffs_dmabuf_detach() to prevent a NULL pointer dereference when endpoint
DMABUF ioctls are issued while the functionfs instance is not bound to a UDC.

[Severity: High]
Can reading ffs->gadget without holding ffs->mutex still race with a
concurrent UDC unbind, and does returning -EPERM in ffs_dmabuf_detach()
prevent userspace from detaching DMABUFs after unbind?
In functionfs_unbind(), ffs->gadget is cleared under ffs->mutex:
drivers/usb/gadget/function/f_fs.c:functionfs_unbind() {
...
mutex_lock(&ffs->mutex);
usb_ep_free_request(ffs->gadget->ep0, ffs->ep0req);
ffs->ep0req = NULL;
ffs->gadget = NULL;
clear_bit(FFS_FL_BOUND, &ffs->flags);
mutex_unlock(&ffs->mutex);
}
In both ffs_dmabuf_find_attachment() and ffs_dmabuf_detach(), ffs->gadget is
read into a local variable without holding ffs->mutex and without READ_ONCE().
Without a lock or compiler barrier, the compiler may reload ffs->gadget after
the NULL check, or functionfs_unbind() and usb_del_gadget_udc() may complete
and free struct usb_gadget via usb_put_gadget() before gadget->dev.parent is
dereferenced.
Additionally, ffs_func_unbind() does not remove attached DMABUFs from
epfile->dmabufs when the UDC is unbound. Once functionfs_unbind() sets
ffs->gadget to NULL, returning -EPERM when !gadget in ffs_dmabuf_detach()
blocks userspace from detaching previously attached DMABUFs via
FUNCTIONFS_DMABUF_DETACH after receiving FUNCTIONFS_UNBIND (unlike
ffs_epfile_release(), which detaches entries from epfile->dmabufs without
checking ffs->gadget).
Could ffs_dmabuf_detach() match only on priv->attach->dmabuf == dmabuf
without consulting ffs->gadget, and could ffs_dmabuf_find_attachment()
synchronize against functionfs_unbind()?
