[PATCH 4.4 112/112] USB: cdc-wdm: Make wdm_flush() interruptible and add wdm_fsync().

commit 37d2a36394d954413a495da61da1b2a51ecd28ab upstream.
syzbot is reporting hung task at wdm_flush() [1], for there is a circular
dependency that wdm_flush() from flip_close() for /dev/cdc-wdm0 forever
waits for /dev/raw-gadget to be closed while close() for /dev/raw-gadget
cannot be called unless close() for /dev/cdc-wdm0 completes.
Tetsuo Handa considered that such circular dependency is an usage error [2]
which corresponds to an unresponding broken hardware [3]. But Alan Stern
responded that we should be prepared for such hardware [4]. Therefore,
this patch changes wdm_flush() to use wait_event_interruptible_timeout()
which gives up after 30 seconds, for hardware that remains silent must be
ignored. The 30 seconds are coming out of thin air.
Changing wait_event() to wait_event_interruptible_timeout() makes error
reporting from close() syscall less reliable. To compensate it, this patch
also implements wdm_fsync() which does not use timeout. Those who want to
be very sure that data has gone out to the device are now advised to call
fsync(), with a caveat that fsync() can return -EINVAL when running on
older kernels which do not implement wdm_fsync().
This patch also fixes three more problems (listed below) found during
exhaustive discussion and testing.
Since multiple threads can concurrently call wdm_write()/wdm_flush(),
we need to use wake_up_all() whenever clearing WDM_IN_USE in order to
make sure that all waiters are woken up. Also, error reporting needs
to use fetch-and-clear approach in order not to report same error for
multiple times.
Since wdm_flush() checks WDM_DISCONNECTING, wdm_write() should as well
check WDM_DISCONNECTING.
In wdm_flush(), since locks are not held, it is not safe to dereference
desc->intf after checking that WDM_DISCONNECTING is not set [5]. Thus,
remove dev_err() from wdm_flush().
