Subject: [PATCH] Fix default q_len for usb_f_printer gadget driver

The usb_f_printer gadget driver uses a default q_len value of *0* which prevents
any IO from occurring.  Moreover, once the driver is instantiated it is
impossible to change the q_len value.

The following patch uses a default q_len value of 10 which matches the legacy
g_printer gadget driver.  This minimizes the possibility that you end up with a
non-working printer gadget.  It is still possible to set the q_len to a
different value using the configfs path of the same name.
