HID: hidraw: correctly deallocate memory on device disconnect
This changes puts the commit 4fe9f8e203f back in place with the fixes for slab corruption because of the commit. When a device is unplugged, wait for all processes that have opened the device to close before deallocating the device. This commit was solving kernel crash because of the corruption in rb tree of vmalloc. The rootcause was the device data pointer was geting excessed after the memory associated with hidraw was freed. The commit 4fe9f8e203f was buggy as it was also freeing the hidraw first and then calling delete operation on the list associated with that hidraw leading to slab corruption.
