[PATCH HID v2 03/11] HID: core: remove one more kmemdup on .probe()

[Benjamin Tissoires]

That last kmemdup while opening the report descriptor was required to
have a common kfree() on it.

Move that kmemdup in the only special case it's required (if there is a
.report_fixup()), and add a more elaborated check before freeing
hdev->rdesc, to avoid a double free.
