Commit 083a4f3f3cc7 ("HID: Kconfig: Fix build error from
CONFIG_HID_HAPTIC") built hid-haptic into vmlinux or hid.ko. This is not
optimal for generic kernel images, as a platform with no multitouch
device doesn't need it anyway. It's also a bit harsh for enabling it in
distribution kernels.

With the new hid-plugin framework, hid-haptic can be easily converted
into a loadable plugin module, so that hid-multitouch only requests it
on demand.

The redaundent `default n' statement is also removed for tidiness since
we are anyway touching its context.
