commit 4e0a88254ad59f6c53a34bf5fa241884ec09e8b2 upstream.

There was an issue when you did the following:
- setup and bind an hid gadget
- open /dev/hidg0
- use the resulting fd in EPOLL_CTL_ADD
- unbind the UDC
- bind the UDC
- use the fd in EPOLL_CTL_DEL

When CONFIG_DEBUG_LIST was enabled, a list_del corruption was reported
within remove_wait_queue (via ep_remove_wait_queue). After some
debugging I found out that the queues, which f_hid registers via
poll_wait were the problem. These were initialized using
init_waitqueue_head inside hidg_bind. So effectively, the bind function
re-initialized the queues while there were still items in them.

The solution is to move the initialization from hidg_bind to hidg_alloc
to extend their lifetimes to the lifetime of the function instance.

Additionally, I found many other possibly problematic init calls in the
bind function, which I moved as well.
