CVE-2022-50568

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

usb: gadget: f_hid: fix f_hidg lifetime vs cdev

The embedded struct cdev does not have its lifetime correctly tied to
the enclosing struct f_hidg, so there is a use-after-free if /dev/hidgN
is held open while the gadget is deleted.

This can readily be replicated with libusbgx's example programs (for
conciseness - operating directly via configfs is equivalent):

	gadget-hid
	exec 3<> /dev/hidg0
	gadget-vid-pid-remove
	exec 3<&-

Pull the existing device up in to struct f_hidg and make use of the
cdev_device_{add,del}() helpers.  This changes the lifetime of the
device object to match struct f_hidg, but note that it is still added
and deleted at the same time.
