It looks like something else is overwriting parts of the hidp_session
structure; I hope to find out what that is tomorrow.  Based on a
printk() in hidp_sock_ioctl(), user space consistently passes a 99-byte
HID report descriptor.  I added another printk() to hidp_parse() to
characterize things:
  printk("hidp_parse(%p): %u@%p\n", hid, req->rd_size, req->rd_data);

With your patch, the first time I connect to the mouse:
[  244.109619] hidp_parse(ffff880138f90000): 0@...0002800000000
[  244.109694] magicmouse 0005:05AC:030D.0001: magicmouse hid parse
  failed
[  244.109708] magicmouse: probe of 0005:05AC:030D.0001 failed with
  error -22

With your patch, the second time:
[  258.840542] hidp_parse(ffff880134e14000): 99@...f88008fd8f880

Without your patch, the first time:
[  157.569000] hidp_parse(ffff8801313cc000): 11859@...fffff811397c0
[  157.569018] magicmouse 0005:05AC:030D.0001: magicmouse hid parse

[  157.569031] magicmouse: probe of 0005:05AC:030D.0001 failed with
  error -14

Without your patch, the second time:
