usb: gadget: configfs: don't NUL-terminate (sub)compatible ids



The "Extended Compat ID OS Feature Descriptor Specification" does not
require the (sub)compatible ids to be NUL-terminated, because they
are placed in a fixed-size buffer and only unused parts of it should
contain NULs. If the buffer is fully utilized, there is no place for NULs.

Consequently, the code which uses desc->ext_compat_id never expects the
data contained to be NUL terminated.

If the compatible id is stored after sub-compatible id, and the compatible
id is full length (8 bytes), the (useless) NUL terminator overwrites the
first byte of the sub-compatible id.

If the sub-compatible id is full length (8 bytes), the (useless) NUL
terminator ends up out of the buffer. The situation can happen in the RNDIS
function, where the buffer is a part of struct f_rndis_opts. The next
member of struct f_rndis_opts is a mutex, so its first byte gets
overwritten. The said byte is a part of a mutex'es member which contains
the information on whether the muext is locked or not. This can lead to a
deadlock, because, in a configfs-composed gadget when a function is linked
into a configuration with config_usb_cfg_link(), usb_get_function()
is called, which then calls rndis_alloc(), which tries locking the same
mutex and (wrongly) finds it already locked.

This patch eliminates NUL terminating of the (sub)compatible id.
