Well this is rather more USB-related question than HID related question, 
I'd say.

Basically you prepare URB, along with specifying which routine should be 
called by USB core as completion handler, and then submit the URB.

USB HID implementation is working like this (and zillions of other USB 
drivers which are in kernel do as well) -- just look at initialization of 
control URB in usbhid_start(), and the completion handler (for control 
URBs) in hid_ctrl().
