Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 4.14 01/15] HID: do not use down_interruptible() when unbinding devices

From: Dmitry Torokhov <dmitry.torokhov@...il.com>

[ Upstream commit f2145f8dc566c4f3b5a8deb58dcd12bed4e20194 ]

Action of unbinding driver from a device is not cancellable and should not
fail, and driver core does not pay attention to the result of "remove"
method, therefore using down_interruptible() in hid_device_remove() does
not make sense.
