This bug report shows that Hillf's fix isn't exactly right.

Here the double-free occurred when logi_dj_remove() called 
hd_hw_stop()...

which occurred inside usbhid_disconnect()'s call to
hid_destroy_device().

But just above the call to hid_destroy_device(), Hillf's patch adds a 
direct call to hid_hw_stop(), which is what did the original free.

So it looks like the problem here is that some paths in the original
unpatched code end up calling hid_hw_stop() by way of the hid_device's
driver, and other paths do not.

I haven't had time to track down this difference.  Maybe somebody 
on the mailing list already knows why it occurs.
