Come to think of it, there was one other issue.  The serial number
parameter is important enough that it should be available even on
builds without CONFIG_USB_FILE_STORAGE_TEST (because for general use,
we must make it possible to set the serial number to a unique value for
every instance of the gadget).  Moving the code around should be fairly
easy.
