[PATCH] HID: multitouch: do not init reports for multitouch devices

[Benjamin Tissoires]

Some multitouch screens do not like to be polled for input reports.
However, the Win8 spec says that all touches should be sent during
each report, making the initialization of reports unnecessary.
The Win7 spec is less precise, but we can safely assume that when
the module is loaded (at boot), no one is touching the screen.

Add the quirk HID_QUIRK_NO_INIT_REPORTS so that we do not have to
introduce a quirk for each problematic device.
