Kuen-Han Tsai b2cc4fae67 usb: gadget: f_ecm: Fix net_device lifecycle with device_move
The net_device is allocated during function instance creation and
registered during the bind phase with the gadget device as its sysfs
parent. When the function unbinds, the parent device is destroyed, but
the net_device survives, resulting in dangling sysfs symlinks:

  console:/ # ls -l /sys/class/net/usb0
  lrwxrwxrwx ... /sys/class/net/usb0 ->
  /sys/devices/platform/.../gadget.0/net/usb0
  console:/ # ls -l /sys/devices/platform/.../gadget.0/net/usb0
  ls: .../gadget.0/net/usb0: No such file or directory

Use device_move() to reparent the net_device between the gadget device
tree and /sys/devices/virtual across bind and unbind cycles. During the
final unbind, calling device_move(NULL) moves the net_device to the
virtual device tree before the gadget device is destroyed. On rebinding,
device_move() reparents the device back under the new gadget, ensuring
proper sysfs topology and power management ordering.

To maintain compatibility with legacy composite drivers (e.g., multi.c),
the bound flag is used to indicate whether the network device is shared
and pre-registered during the legacy driver's bind phase.
