Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 5.15 03/24] usb: gadget: u_serial: Avoid spinlock recursion in __gs_console_push

From: Prashanth K <quic_prashk@...cinc.com>

[ Upstream commit e5990469943c711cb00bfde6338d2add6c6d0bfe ]

When serial console over USB is enabled, gs_console_connect
queues gs_console_work, where it acquires the spinlock and
queues the usb request, and this request goes to gadget layer.
Now consider a situation where gadget layer prints something
to dmesg, this will eventually call gs_console_write() which
requires cons->lock. And this causes spinlock recursion. Avoid
this by excluding usb_ep_queue from the spinlock.

 spin_lock_irqsave //needs cons->lock
 gs_console_write
	.
	.
 _printk
 __warn_printk
 dev_warn/pr_err

 usb_ep_queue
 gs_console_work
 __gs_console_push // acquires cons->lock
 process_one_work
