Subject: [PATCH] HID: use standard debug APIs

The custom "debug" module parameter is fairly inflexible.
It can only manage debugging for all calls dbg_hid() at the same time.

Furthermore it creates a mismatch between calls to hid_dbg() which can
be managed by CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG and dbg_hid() which is managed by the
module parameter.

Furthermore the change to pr_debug() allows the debugging statements to
be completely compiled-out if desired.

Note: This removes the possibility to enable debugging for the HID core
and all drivers at the same time.
If this is still desirable it could probably be implemented with the new
DYNAMIC_DEBUG class feature.
