Yes, it's a part of disconnect, and disconnect is a part of gadget unbind.
Let me try my best to explain. Here's the call stack for usb_del_gadget:
-> usb_del_gadget
    -> flush_work(&gadget->work)
    -> device_del
        -> bus_remove_device
        -> device_release_driver
        -> gadget_unbind_driver
        -> usb_gadget_disconnect_locked
        -> dwc3_gadget_pullup
        -> dwc3_gadget_soft_disconnect
        -> usb_gadget_set_state
        -> schedule_work(&gadget->work)

Then when usb_put_gadget is called, gadget could be freed before
gadget->work is executed.
-> usb_put_gadget
-> put_device
-> kobject_put
-> device_release
-> dwc_gadget_release
-> kfree(gadget)

Ack, will cc stable in the next revision.
