USB: g_mass_storage: Fix deadlock when driver is unbound

BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1723145
commit 1fbbb78f25d1291274f320462bf6908906f538db upstream.

As a holdover from the old g_file_storage gadget, the g_mass_storage
legacy gadget driver attempts to unregister itself when its main
operating thread terminates (if it hasn't been unregistered already).
This is not strictly necessary; it was never more than an attempt to
have the gadget fail cleanly if something went wrong and the main
thread was killed.

However, now that the UDC core manages gadget drivers independently of
UDC drivers, this scheme doesn't work any more.  A simple test:

modprobe dummy-hcd
modprobe g-mass-storage file=...
rmmod dummy-hcd

ends up in a deadlock with the following backtrace:

What happens is that removing the dummy-hcd driver causes the UDC core
to unbind the gadget driver, which it does while holding the udc_lock
mutex.  The unbind routine in g_mass_storage tells the main thread to
exit and waits for it to terminate.

But as mentioned above, when the main thread exits it tries to
unregister the mass-storage function driver.  Via the composite
framework this ends up calling usb_gadget_unregister_driver(), which
tries to acquire the udc_lock mutex.  The result is deadlock.

The simplest way to fix the problem is not to be so clever: The main
thread doesn't have to unregister the function driver.  The side
effects won't be so terrible; if the gadget is still attached to a USB
host when the main thread is killed, it will appear to the host as
though the gadget's firmware has crashed -- a reasonably accurate
interpretation, and an all-too-common occurrence for USB mass-storage
devices.

In fact, the code to unregister the driver when the main thread exits
is specific to g-mass-storage; it is not used when f-mass-storage is
included as a function in a larger composite device.  Therefore the
entire mechanism responsible for this (the fsg_operations structure
with its ->thread_exits method, the fsg_common_set_ops() routine, and
the msg_thread_exits() callback routine) can all be eliminated.  Even
the msg_registered bitflag can be removed, because now the driver is
unregistered in only one place rather than in two places.
