The syzbot fuzzer found a use-after-free bug:

BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in dev_uevent+0x712/0x780 drivers/base/core.c:2320
Read of size 8 at addr ffff88802b934098 by task udevd/3689

 dev_attr_show+0x4b/0x90 drivers/base/core.c:2094

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.
