4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ [ Upstream commit cee51c33f52ebf673a088a428ac0fecc33ab77fa ] There may be a race condition if f_fs calls unregister_gadget_item in ffs_closed() when unregister_gadget is called by UDC store at the same time. this leads to a kernel NULL pointer dereference: [ 310.644928] Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000004 [ 310.645053] init: Service 'adbd' is being killed...

These 2 operations both call unregister_gadget, which will lead to the panic above. add a mutex before calling unregister_gadget for api used in f_fs.
