It's a little tricky. The lock in question belongs to the composite
core, not the UDC core, so it doesn't really apply to the
usb_gadget_{de}activate() routines.

As for mutual exclusion of usb_gadget_activate() and
usb_gadget_deactivate(), I don't know that anyone has ever considered
the matter.

It isn't documented, so there's no definitive answer. My feeling is
that the UDC driver pullup routines should not sleep, but that's not
official.

Of course, Felipe should have the last word on this.
