Subject: [PATCH 1/3] HID: core: ensure the allocated report buffer can
 contain the reserved report ID

When the report ID is not used, the low level transport drivers expect
the first byte to be 0. However, currently the allocated buffer not
account for that extra byte, meaning that instead of having 8 guaranteed
bytes for implement to be working, we only have 7.
