[PATCH] hid: usbhid: hid-core: fix recursive deadlock

The critical section protected by usbhid->lock in hid_ctrl() is too
big and in rare cases causes a recursive deadlock because of its call
to hid_input_report().

This deadlock reproduces on newer wacom tablets like 056a:033c because
the wacom driver in its irq handler ends up calling hid_hw_request()
from wacom_intuos_schedule_prox_event() in wacom_wac.c. What this means
is that it submits a report to reschedule a proximity read through a
sync ctrl call which grabs the lock in hid_ctrl(struct urb *urb)
before calling hid_input_report(). When the irq kicks in on the same
cpu, it also tries to grab the lock resulting in a recursive deadlock.

The proper fix is to shrink the critical section in hid_ctrl() to
protect only the instructions which modify usbhid, thus move the lock
after the hid_input_report() call and the deadlock dissapears.
