HID: fix a lockup regression when using force feedback on a PID device
Commit 8006479c introduced a spinlock in input_dev->event_lock, which is locked when handling input events. However, the hid-pidff driver sleeps when handling events as it waits for reports being sent to the device before changing the report contents again. This causes a system lockup when trying to use force feedback with a PID device, a regression introduced in 2.6.24 and 2.6.23.15. Fix it by extracting the raw report data from struct hid_report immediately when hid_submit_report() is called, therefore allowing drivers to change the contents of struct hid_report immediately without affecting the already-queued transfer. In hid-pidff, re-add the removed usbhid_wait_io() to pidff_erase_effect() instead, to prevent a full report queue from causing the submission to fail, thus not freeing up device memory. pidff_erase_effect() is not called while dev->event_lock is held.
