[PATCH v2] usb: gadget: inode: fix use-after-free of struct ep_data

gadgetfs_unbind() -> destroy_ep_files() frees each struct ep_data via
put_ep(), but the inode still points at that ep_data through ->i_private
with no reference of its own.  A concurrent openat() on an endpoint file
can therefore reach ep_open() and dereference the freed ep_data (the
mutex fast path), even while the inode outlives it.

Give the inode its own reference: take get_ep() when the endpoint inode
is created and drop it again from a new gadgetfs_evict_inode(), so an
ep_data can never be freed while any inode still points at it.  This is
also safe against dcache pruning, since the inode reference keeps the
count >= 1 until the endpoint is removed from dev->epfiles.

The inode now holds ep_data for its whole lifetime, so an open() racing
with an unbind never dereferences freed ep_data.
