usb: gadget: Remove File-backed Storage Gadget (g_file_storage).

Browse source 
The File-backed Storage Gadget (g_file_storage) gadget has been replaced
with Mass Storage Gadget (g_mass_storage) which uses the composite
framework.  This commit removes g_file_storage (and most references to it).

based on the File Storage Gadget. The difference between the two is
that MSG is a composite gadget (ie. uses the composite framework)
while file storage gadget is a traditional gadget. From userspace
while file storage gadget was a traditional gadget. From userspace
point of view this distinction does not really matter, but from
kernel hacker's point of view, this means that (i) MSG does not
duplicate code needed for handling basic USB protocol commands and
(ii) MSF can be used in any other composite gadget.

to the Mass Storage Gadget by that time. The two gadgets behave
mostly the same from the outside except:
