[PATCH] usb: gadget: f_mass_storage: break IO operations via configfs

[Maxim Devaev]

Using the SIGUSR1 signal sent to the "file-storage" thread
from the userspace, it is possible to break IO operations
that block the gadget. Thus, it is possible to implement
"force eject" without stopping the gadget and umounting
it from the host side.

There are two problems here:

  - In order to send a signal, we need to find the thread
    in procfs, but if several mass storage gadgets are created
    in the system, each process has the same name and it is
    impossible to distinguish one gadget from another.

  - Root privileges are required to send the signal.

The proposed "break_io" interface solves both problems.
It allows us to get rid of the procfs search and delegate
sending the signal to a regular user.
