[PATCH v2] HID: autoload hid-multitouch as needed

["benjamin.tissoires" <benjamin.tissoires@gmail.com>]

From: Benjamin Tissoires <benjamin.tissoires@enac.fr>

When the generic hid parsing of the report descriptors in hid-core
detects that the device contains the field ContactID, the device should
be handled by hid-multitouch, and hid-core should release it.
This patch implements a temporary fix for hid-core to automatically
call the loading of hid-multitouch. A better solution would involve
userspace.

The code is inspired from what is done in the bttv module.

Hi guys,

I finally managed to find some time to resend this patch.

Cheers,
Benjamin
