Subject: [34-longterm 102/209] HID: hidraw, fix a NULL pointer dereference in hidraw_ioctl

From: Antonio Ospite <ospite@...denti.unina.it>

  =====================================================================
  | This is a commit scheduled for the next v2.6.34 longterm release. |
  | If you see a problem with using this for longterm, please comment.|
  =====================================================================

commit d20d5ffab92f00188f360c44c791a5ffb988247c upstream.

BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000028
IP: [<ffffffffa02c66b4>] hidraw_ioctl+0xfc/0x32c [hid]
[...]

This is reproducible by disconnecting the device while userspace does
ioctl in a loop and doesn't check return values in order to exit the
loop.

[PG: slightly/trivially reworked for backport to 34]
