Subject: usb: gadget: f_fs: Fix possibe deadlock

From: Baolin Wang <[email protected]>

commit b3ce3ce02d146841af012d08506b4071db8ffde3 upstream.

When system try to close /dev/usb-ffs/adb/ep0 on one core, at the same time another core try to attach new UDC, which will cause deadlock as below scenario. Thus we should release ffs lock before issuing unregister_gadget_item().
