usb: gadget: u_serial: fix stale req->dep warn on disconnect/reconnect

[Daehwan Jung]

When DWC3_EP_DELAY_STOP defers ENDXFER, giveback of -ESHUTDOWN requests
arrives after gserial_disconnect(). These stale requests then accumulate
in read_pool via gs_rx_push(). After gadget exit frees the old endpoint,
req->dep becomes a dangling pointer. On the next gserial_connect(),
gs_start_rx() queues these stale requests onto a new endpoint, triggering:

  WARNING: CPU: 0 at drivers/usb/dwc3/gadget.c:1990
  request 00000000e6e350a5 belongs to ''

  Call trace:

Fix by discarding -ESHUTDOWN requests immediately in gs_read_complete()
while ep is still valid, preventing stale reqs from entering read_pool.

I'm sorry, missing version tag in the subject.
