[PATCH 5.4 001/320] HID: uhid: Fix worker destroying device without any protection

From: Jann Horn <jannh@google.com>

commit 4ea5763fb79ed89b3bdad455ebf3f33416a81624 upstream.

uhid has to run hid_add_device() from workqueue context while allowing
parallel use of the userspace API (which is protected with ->devlock).
But hid_add_device() can fail. Currently, that is handled by immediately
destroying the associated HID device, without using ->devlock - but if
there are concurrent requests from userspace, that's wrong and leads to
NULL dereferences and/or memory corruption (via use-after-free).

Fix it by leaving the HID device as-is in the worker. We can clean it up
later, either in the UHID_DESTROY command handler or in the ->release()
handler.
