[PATCH 3/4] HID: debug: empty output queue on read

[Benjamin Tissoires]

If an event occurs while the hid debugfs is forwarding events, list->tail
is updated during copy_to_user().

Remove the gotos and use a regular while-loop to empty the queue.

Second benefit, it checks that we are not writing more than count bytes
to the user-space output buffer.
