HID: multitouch: give FF core ownership of haptic state

This commit clones the mapped haptic state in hid_haptic_init() and
transfers ownership of the clone to ff->private so the input core frees it
at final input device release. It also records the first configured input
device to avoid creating multiple force-feedback instances sharing the same
HID reports.

[Severity: Medium]
Can this attach the single force-feedback instance to the wrong input
device or mark skipped touchpad inputs with INPUT_PROP_PRESSUREPAD?

On a multi-input haptic touchpad (for example with
MT_CLS_WIN_8_FORCE_MULTI_INPUT, which sets HID_QUIRK_MULTI_INPUT),
hidinput_connect() invokes mt_input_configured() on each hid_input in
descriptor order before checking hidinput_has_been_populated():

drivers/hid/hid-input.c:hidinput_connect() {
	list_for_each_entry_safe(hidinput, next, &hid->inputs, list) {
		if (drv->input_configured &&
		    drv->input_configured(hid, hidinput))
			goto out_unwind;

		if (!hidinput_has_been_populated(hidinput)) {
			/* no need to register an input device not populated */
			hidinput_cleanup_hidinput(hid, hidinput);
			continue;
		}
}

In mt_input_configured(), hid_haptic_input_configured() is called for any
hid_input with hi->application == HID_DG_TOUCHPAD before checking
rdata->is_mt_collection:

drivers/hid/hid-multitouch.c:mt_input_configured() {
	if (td->is_haptic_touchpad && (td->mtclass.name == MT_CLS_WIN_8 ||
	    td->mtclass.name == MT_CLS_WIN_8_FORCE_MULTI_INPUT ||
	    td->mtclass.name == MT_CLS_WIN_8_KEEP_LATENCY_ON_CLOSE)) {
		if (hi->application == HID_DG_TOUCHPAD) {
			ret = hid_haptic_input_configured(hdev, td->haptic, hi);
}

If a non-multitouch or unpopulated HID_DG_TOUCHPAD report precedes the
multitouch report, hid_haptic_input_configured() initializes EV_FF on that
first hid_input (causing hidinput_has_been_populated() to keep and register
an otherwise empty input_dev), sets haptic->input_dev, and then skips the
actual multitouch touchpad input_dev.

In addition, because __set_bit(INPUT_PROP_PRESSUREPAD, hi->input->propbit)
runs before checking haptic->input_dev, subsequent HID_DG_TOUCHPAD inputs
that skip hid_haptic_init() still advertise INPUT_PROP_PRESSUREPAD.

[Severity: Low]
Should hid_haptic_init() avoid mixing __free(kfree) with goto-based cleanup
labels?

In hid_haptic_init(), haptic is declared with __free(kfree) and transferred
with no_free_ptr(haptic), while the rest of the function uses a goto unwind
ladder (ff_cap_clear, buffer_free, output_queue, duration_map, usage_map,
and exit) that dereferences haptic to free its sub-allocations before scope
exit runs.

Per include/linux/cleanup.h, goto cleanup labels and __free() helpers
should not be mixed in the same function. Could haptic be freed explicitly
at the exit label instead, or all resources in hid_haptic_init() converted
to scope-based cleanup?
