Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] HID: ensure timely release of driver-allocated resources

More and more drivers rely on devres to manage their resources, however
if bus' probe() and release() methods are not trivial and control some
of resources as well (for example enable or disable clocks, or attach
device to a power domain), we need to make sure that driver-allocated
resources are released immediately after driver's remove() method
returns, and not postponed until driver core gets around to releasing
resources.

In case of HID we should not try to close the report and release
associated memory until after all devres callbacks are executed. To fix
that we open a new devres group before calling driver's probe() and
explicitly release it when we return from driver's remove().

This is similar to what we did for I2C bus in commit 5b5475826c52 ("i2c:
ensure timely release of driver-allocated resources"). It is tempting to
try and move this into driver core, but actually doing so is challenging,
we need to split bus' remove() method into pre- and post-remove methods,
which would make the logic even less clear.
