Subject: [PATCH] [RFC] usb: gadget: composite: Allow idVendor and other module_params to be writable

In many cases, documentation around composite drivers suggest
setting the idVendor and other module params as follows:

$ insmod g_ffs.ko idVendor=<ID> iSerialNumber=<string>

However, this won't work if the driver is not compiled in as a
module, as the module_param permissions are S_IRUGO.

Thus this patch changes the composite module_param permissions
to S_IRUGO|S_IWUSR to allow the module_params to be set at
runtime via /sys/modules/<driver>/parameters/
