ep_open() dereferenced inode->i_private and locked its embedded mutex before checking whether the underlying ep_data was still alive. destroy_ep_files(), called from gadgetfs_unbind(), can free that same ep_data concurrently, since nothing prevented an in-flight open() from racing the teardown. KASAN reports a slab-use-after-free in ep_open(), with the object freed by a concurrent gadgetfs_unbind() -> destroy_ep_files() -> put_ep() -> kfree(). Fix it by adding an inode back-pointer to ep_data, having destroy_ep_files() clear inode->i_private to NULL under dev->lock before the object can be freed, and having ep_open() read inode->i_private and pin the result with get_ep() under that same lock, bailing out with -ENOENT if it finds NULL. This makes liveness self-evident at the point of use instead of being inferred from device state, so it holds regardless of which path frees the endpoint. gadgetfs_create_file() gains an optional inode-out parameter so activate_ep_files() can capture the inode it creates; the ep0 caller in gadgetfs_fill_super() passes NULL, since dev_data is unaffected by this fix.
