usb: gadget: fix NULL pointer dereference

Browse Source 
Fix possible NULL pointer dereference introduced in
commit 219580e (usb: f_fs: check quirk to pad epout
buf size when not aligned to maxpacketsize)

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.
