Did you try to remove the usb-common module with the udc gadget module
remaining loaded with this change in place?  I think you will find that
it is impossible given that the udc gadget module now depends on a
symbol in the usb-common code.

So again, just use the module reference counting logic to drive this
functionality, don't create an atomic variable that duplicates the
logic we already have in place today.
