USB: Gadget core: fix inconsistency in the interface tousb_add_gadget_udc_release()
The usb_add_gadget_udc_release() routine in the USB gadget core will sometimes but not always call the gadget's release function when an error occurs. More specifically, if the struct usb_udc allocation fails then the release function is not called, and for other errors it is. As a result, users of this routine cannot know whether they need to deallocate the memory containing the gadget structure following an error. This leads to unavoidable memory leaks or double frees. This patch fixes the problem by splitting the existing device_register() call into device_initialize() and device_add(), and doing the udc allocation in between. That way, even if the allocation fails it is still possible to call device_del(), and so the release function will be always called following an error.
