[PATCH v2 2/4] HID: apple: avoid memory leak in apple_report_fixup()

[Günther Noack]

The apple_report_fixup() function was returning a
newly kmemdup()-allocated buffer, but never freeing it.

The caller of report_fixup() does not take ownership of the returned
pointer, but it *is* permitted to return a sub-portion of the input
rdesc, whose lifetime is managed by the caller.
