Subject: [PATCH] HID: core: introduce hid_safe_input_report()

hid_input_report() is used in too many places to have a commit that
doesn't cross subsystem borders. Instead of changing the API, introduce
a new one when things matters in the transport layers:
- usbhid
- i2chid

This effectively revert to the old behavior for those two transport
layers.
