As this thread doesn't really contain any oops message nor the exact
driver name (except mentioning hyperv and magicmouse), I fixed a
related bug for HIDP:
  http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.bluez.kernel/41969

A similar patch is *really* required for hid-hyperv.c as it also does
not provide a properly sized buffer to hid_input_report().
