usb: gadget: f_ncm: Fix UAF ncm object at re-bind after usb ep transport error
When ncm function is working and then stop usb0 interface for link down,
eth_stop() is called. At this piont, accidentally if usb transport error
should happen in usb_ep_enable(), 'in_ep' and/or 'out_ep' may not be enabled.

After that, ncm_disable() is called to disable for ncm unbind
but gether_disconnect() is never called since 'in_ep' is not enabled.

As the result, ncm object is released in ncm unbind
but 'dev->port_usb' associated to 'ncm->port' is not NULL.

And when ncm bind again to recover netdev, ncm object is reallocated
but usb0 interface is already associated to previous released ncm object.

Therefore, once usb0 interface is up and eth_start_xmit() is called,
released ncm object is dereferrenced and it might cause use-after-free memory.

[function unlink via configfs]
  usb0: eth_stop dev->port_usb=ffffff9b179c3200
  --> error happens in usb_ep_enable().
  NCM: ncm_disable: ncm=ffffff9b179c3200
  --> no gether_disconnect() since ncm->port.in_ep->enabled is false.
  NCM: ncm_unbind: ncm unbind ncm=ffffff9b179c3200
  NCM: ncm_free: ncm free ncm=ffffff9b179c3200   <-- released ncm

[function link via configfs]
  NCM: ncm_alloc: ncm alloc ncm=ffffff9ac4f8a000
  NCM: ncm_bind: ncm bind ncm=ffffff9ac4f8a000
  NCM: ncm_set_alt: ncm=ffffff9ac4f8a000 alt=0
  usb0: eth_open dev->port_usb=ffffff9b179c3200  <-- previous released ncm
  usb0: eth_start dev->port_usb=ffffff9b179c3200 <--
  eth_start_xmit()
  --> dev->wrap()
  Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address dead00000000014f

This patch addresses the issue by checking if 'ncm->netdev' is not NULL at
ncm_disable() to call gether_disconnect() to deassociate 'dev->port_usb'.
It's more reasonable to check 'ncm->netdev' to call gether_connect/disconnect
rather than check 'ncm->port.in_ep->enabled' since it might not be enabled
but the gether connection might be established.

[ Fix ]

Oracular:	not affected
Noble:		fixed via stable updates
Jammy:		fixed via stable updates
Focal:		backport
Bionic:		ignored
Xenial:		ignored

[ Test Plan ]

* Build test for all supported architectures.
* Boot tested on amd64 architecture.

[ Where Problems Could Occur ]

This changes the handling of object re-bind after USB ep error, so it is unlikely 
that impacts anything beyond this use case. An issue with this fix would be 
visible with usb connect/disconnect cycle.
