usb: gadget: u_ether: Do not make UDC parent of the net device
The UDC is not a suitable parent of the net device as the UDC can
change or vanish during the lifecycle of the ethernet gadget. This
can be illustrated with the following:
mkdir -p /sys/kernel/config/usb_gadget/mygadget
cd /sys/kernel/config/usb_gadget/mygadget
mkdir -p configs/c.1/strings/0x409
echo "C1:Composite Device" > configs/c.1/strings/0x409/configuration
mkdir -p functions/ecm.usb0
ln -s functions/ecm.usb0 configs/c.1/
echo "dummy_udc.0" > UDC
rmmod dummy_hcd
The 'rmmod' removes the UDC from the just created gadget, leaving
the still existing net device with a no longer existing parent.
Accessing the ethernet device with commands like:
ip --details link show usb0
will result in a KASAN splat:

Solve this by not setting the parent of the ethernet device.
