usb: gadget: u_serial: Avoid spinlock recursion in __gs_console_push 

When serial console over USB is enabled, gs_console_connect
queues gs_console_work, where it acquires the spinlock and
queues the usb request, and this request goes to gadget layer.
Now consider a situation where gadget layer prints something
to dmesg, this will eventually call gs_console_write() which
requires cons->lock. And this causes spinlock recursion. Avoid
this by excluding usb_ep_queue from the spinlock.
