HID: hiddev: fix memory corruption due to invalid intfdata
Commit bd25f4dd6972755579d0 ("HID: hiddev: use usb_find_interface,
get rid of BKL") introduced using of private intfdata in hiddev for
purpose of storing hiddev pointer.
This is a problem, because intf pointer is already being set to struct
hid_device pointer by HID core. This obviously lead to memory corruptions
at device disconnect time, such as
WARNING: at lib/kobject.c:595 kobject_put+0x37/0x4b()
kobject: '(null)' (ffff88011e9cd898): is not initialized, yet kobject_put() is being called.
Convert hiddev into accessing hiddev through struct hid_device which is
in intfdata already.
