usb: f_fs: check quirk to pad epout buf size when not aligned to
maxpacketsize

after 3.13-rc1.

In cases we do wait with:

wait_event_interruptible(epfile->wait, (ep = epfile->ep));

for endpoint to be enabled, functionfs_bind() has not been called yet
and epfile->ffs->gadget is still NULL and the automatic variable 'gadget'
has been initialized with NULL at the point of its definition.
Later on it is used as a parameter to:

usb_ep_align_maybe(gadget, ep->ep, len)

which in turn dereferences it.

This patch fixes it by moving the actual assignment to the local 'gadget'
variable after the potential waiting has completed.

But since gadget is only used in the “if (!halt)” part of the code,
could you simply move definition of the variable inside the if?

should I wait for another revision ?
