usb: gadget: Fix use-after-free bug by not setting udc->dev.driver
The syzbot fuzzer found a use-after-free bug:

Although the bug manifested in the driver core, the real cause was a
race with the gadget core. dev_uevent() does:
if (dev->driver)
add_uevent_var(env, “DRIVER=%s”, dev->driver->name);
and between the test and the dereference of dev->driver, the gadget
core sets dev->driver to NULL.
The race wouldn’t occur if the gadget core registered its devices on
a real bus, using the standard synchronization techniques of the
driver core. However, it’s not necessary to make such a large change
in order to fix this bug; all we need to do is make sure that
udc->dev.driver is always NULL.
In fact, there is no reason for udc->dev.driver ever to be set to
anything, let alone to the value it currently gets: the address of the
gadget’s driver. After all, a gadget driver only knows how to manage
a gadget, not how to manage a UDC.
This patch simply removes the statements in the gadget core that touch
udc->dev.driver.
