USB: gadget: Add a new bus for gadgets
This patch adds a "gadget" bus and uses it for registering gadgets and their drivers. From now on, bindings will be managed by the driver core rather than through ad-hoc manipulations in the UDC core. As part of this change, the driver_pending_list is removed. The UDC core won't need to keep track of unbound drivers for later binding, because the driver core handles all of that for us. However, we do need one new feature: a way to prevent gadget drivers from being bound to more than one gadget at a time. The existing code does this automatically, but the driver core doesn't -- it's perfectly happy to bind a single driver to all the matching devices on the bus. The patch adds a new bitflag to the usb_gadget_driver structure for this purpose. A nice side effect of this change is a reduction in the total lines of code, since now the driver core will do part of the work that the UDC used to do. A possible future patch could add udc devices to the gadget bus, say as a separate device type.
