Subject: [PATCH] usb: gadget: f_ncm: Fix Kernel Panic due to access of invalid gadget ptr

In the scenario where the system enters suspend to RAM mode (STR) triggers
the disconnection of Dual Role USB Hub, and the UDC platform driver calls
usb_del_gadget_udc() to cleanup and delete the associated gadget.

However, at this point, the usb0 interface is not yet deleted, leading to
a race condition with the TCP/IP stack attempting to access the network
device parent (gadget pointer), through operations like the GETLINK net
message.

This patch addresses the issue by clearing the netdevice's parent device
pointer when the ncm unbinds, effectively preventing the race condition
during this critical phase.

Followinfg is the backtrace of such race condition

- code: if_nlmsg_size call the following function

static inline int rtnl_vfinfo_size(const struct net_device *dev,
				   u32 ext_filter_mask)
{
	// dev->dev.parent is not NULL
	if (dev->dev.parent && (ext_filter_mask & RTEXT_FILTER_VF)) {
		// dev_num_vf use the dev->dev.parent->bus lead to kernel panic.
		int num_vfs = dev_num_vf(dev->dev.parent);
		size_t size = nla_total_size(0);
		size += num_vfs *
			(nla_total_size(0) +
			 nla_total_size(sizeof(struct ifla_vf_mac)) +
			 nla_total_size(sizeof(struct ifla_vf_vlan)) +
			 nla_total_size(0) + /* nest IFLA_VF_VLAN_LIST *
