[PATCH usb-next v1] USB: gadget: Fix UAF in gadgetfs_fill_super()

[Rafael Alejandro Diaz Cruz]

UAF is caused by syzkaller reproducer forcing
the failure of gadgetfs_fill_super()

When gadgetfs_fill_super() fails, it's error path calls
put_dev() which drops refcount inside the_device to 0
and frees the objet. But the_device pointer is not
cleared, leading to point at freed memory.

VFS will then call gadgetfs_kill_sb() after mount
failure leading to put_dev() to be called on the
already freed pointer.

Fix by setting the_device = NULL during error path
before calling put_dev() inside gadgetfs_fill_super()
so that gadgetfs_kill_sb() skips put_dev().
