6.1-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Dan Carpenter <redacted>

[ Upstream commit 89e756e3cc8d9c1ebc0f2b2f6912227073d93118 ]

The hid_check_device_match() returns true if we find a match and false
if we don't.  But here it returns -ENODEV which becomes true instead
of false.

Fixes: 207733f92661 ("HID: split apart hid_device_probe to make logic more apparent")
