For an USB-specific HID device, size of output FIFO should
be HID_OUTPUT_FIFO_SIZE rather than HID_CONTROL_FIFO_SIZE.

When HID device is stalled or disconnected, there might be an
unsent (i.e. never passed via hid_submit_out()) output reports.
So free their raw buffers in usbhid_stop() to avoid memory leaks.
This is a companion of commit f7744fa16b96 ("HID: usbhid: free
raw_report buffers in usbhid_stop") and inspired by that one.

Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 1 potential issue(s) to consider:
- [High] Emptying the output queue in `usbhid_stop()` causes the URB completion handler `hid_irq_out()` to advance `outtail` past `outhead`, leading to a NULL pointer dereference in `hid_submit_out()`.

[Severity: High]
Does emptying the output queue here cause a NULL pointer dereference
when usb_kill_urb() subsequently cancels the in-flight URB?
When usb_kill_urb(usbhid->urbout) invokes the hid_irq_out() completion
handler with -ENOENT, unplug is 0. Unlike hid_ctrl(), hid_irq_out()
unconditionally advances outtail without checking if the queue is empty:
drivers/hid/usbhid/hid-core.c:hid_irq_out() {
...
if (unplug) {
usbhid->outtail = usbhid->outhead;
} else {
usbhid->outtail = (usbhid->outtail + 1) & (HID_OUTPUT_FIFO_SIZE - 1);
if (usbhid->outhead != usbhid->outtail &&
hid_submit_out(hid) == 0) {
...
}
Because this loop in usbhid_stop() already made outtail equal to outhead,
advancing it moves outtail into an uninitialized slot and makes the
outhead != outtail condition true.
This then triggers hid_submit_out(), which dereferences the NULL report
pointer from the uninitialized slot:
drivers/hid/usbhid/hid-core.c:hid_submit_out() {
...
report = usbhid->out[usbhid->outtail].report;
...
usbhid->urbout->transfer_buffer_length = hid_report_len(report);
...
}
Should hid_irq_out() be updated to check if outhead != outtail before
advancing the queue, similar to what hid_ctrl() does?
