Gadgetfs - Filesystem not found

Question

While trying the solutions suggested by a comment on my first question I tried to enable gadgetfs. I tried the following:

sudo modprobe dwc2
sudo modprobe gadgetfs
sudo mkdir /dev/gadget
sudo mount -t gadgetfs none /dev/gadget

But while executing the mount-Command, following error occurs:
mount: /dev/gadget: unknown filesystem type 'gadgetfs'.

Does anyone know why this happens?

EDIT:

Output of lsmod | grep gadget:

gadgetfs               24576  0
udc_core               49152  4 dwc2,libcomposite,gadgetfs,usb_f_hid

dmesg containing dwc2 or gadget:

Can you check the output of lsmod | grep gadget? Also try reading through the output of dmesg for anything to do with dwc2 or gadget. — Fred, Oct 03 '19 at 16:12
I don't have any in-depth experience with gadgetfs so I'm a bit limited on what I can do. It looks like you may need to have a gadget module loaded before trying to mount. What happens if you try after modprobe g_mass_storage? — Fred, Oct 04 '19 at 11:24

From Pi Zero as HID: How to control PC Mouse from Pi Zero through USB? and Zero GadgetFS?, it looks like you must add dtoverlay=dwc2 into /boot/config.txt and then restart.

Edit: @The Great Rambler below suggets that the libcomposite kernel module shouldn't be loaded. Based on searching for libcomposite, it also looks like these posts on Composite Gadgets on Pi Zero and Pi Zero as Multiple Gadgets might be useful resources for using the Pi Zero in gadget mode.

In the config.txt there was that line two times at the end. Even when I removed one of them, restarted and tried again it failed. – MonsterDruide1 Oct 03 '19 at 16:02
Along with Fred's answer, make sure you don't have the kernel module libcomposite loaded. – TheGreatRambler Oct 05 '19 at 22:56
