HID: usbhid: fix use-after-free bug
This patch (as1592) fixes an obscure problem in the usbhid driver. Under some circumstances, a control or interrupt-OUT URB can be submitted twice. This will happen if the first submission fails; the queue pointers aren't updated, so the next time the queue is restarted the same URB will be submitted again. The problem is that raw_report gets deallocated during the first submission. The second submission will then dereference and try to free an already-freed region of memory. The patch fixes the problem by setting raw_report to NULL when it is deallocated and checking for NULL before dereferencing it.
