Reverting bd25f4dd6972755579d0ea50d1a5ace2e9b00d1a with USB_HIDDEV
enabled also solves the problem. So there must be a bug in that patch:

commit bd25f4dd6972755579d0ea50d1a5ace2e9b00d1a
Author: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@...db.de>
Date:   Sun Jul 11 15:34:05 2010 +0200

    HID: hiddev: use usb_find_interface, get rid of BKL
    
    This removes the private hiddev_table in the usbhid
    driver and changes it to use usb_find_interface
    instead.
    
    The advantage is that we can avoid the race between
    usb_register_dev and usb_open and no longer need the
    big kernel lock.
    
    This doesn't introduce race condition -- the intf pointer could be
    invalidated only in hiddev_disconnect() through usb_deregister_dev(),
    but that will block on minor_rwsem and not actually remove the device
    until usb_open().
