[PATCH] usb: gadget: u_serial: Avoid spinlock recursion in __gs_console_push

Subsystem: the rest, usb subsystem · Maintainers: Linus Torvalds, Greg Kroah-Hartman

Landed in mainline as e5990469943c on 2023-05-29.

When serial console over USB is enabled, gs_console_connect
queues gs_console_work, where it acquires the spinlock and
queues the usb request, and this request goes to gadget layer.
Now consider a situation where gadget layer prints something
to dmesg, this will eventually call gs_console_write() which
requires cons->lock. And this causes spinlock recursion. Avoid
this by excluding usb_ep_queue from the spinlock.

 spin_lock_irqsave //needs cons->lock
 gs_console_write
	.
	.
 _printk
 __warn_printk
 dev_warn/pr_err

 [USB Gadget Layer]

 usb_ep_queue
 gs_console_work
 __gs_console_push // acquires cons->lock
 process_one_work
