Thanks Rafael for spotting that corner case in the ->match() processing.

Shouldn't we add that logic to hid_match_device() directly in
hid-core.c instead?
It feels wrong to have a function named "hid_match_device()" and have
to manually call later "->match()" on the driver itself.

Ack on the general idea anyway.
