Subject: usb: gadget: inode.c: fix unbalanced spin_lock in ep0_write
From: David Eccher <d.eccher@xxxxxxxxx>
commit b7bd98b7db9fc8fe19da1a5ff0215311c6b95e46 upstream.
Fix bad unlock balance: ep0_write enter with the locks locked from
inode.c:1769, hence it must exit with spinlock held to avoid double
unlock in dev_config.
