HID: ensure timely release of driver-allocated resources
More and more drivers rely on devres to manage their resources, however if bus' probe() and release() methods are not trivial and control some of resources as well (for example enable or disable clocks, or attach device to a power domain), we need to make sure that driver-allocated resources are released immediately after driver's remove() method returns, and not postponed until driver core gets around to releasing resources. In case of HID we should not try to close the report and release associated memory until after all devres callbacks are executed. To fix that we open a new devres group before calling driver's probe() and explicitly release it when we return from driver's remove(). This is similar to what we did for I2C bus in commit 5b547582 ("i2c: ensure timely release of driver-allocated resources"). It is tempting to try and move this into driver core, but actually doing so is challenging, we need to split bus' remove() method into pre- and post-remove methods, which would make the logic even less clear.
