Subject: USB HID: hiddev - fix race between hiddev_send_event() and hiddev_release()

From: Jiri Kosina <jkosina@suse.cz>

USB HID: hiddev - fix race between hiddev_send_event() and hiddev_release()
    
There is a small race window in which hiddev_release() could corrupt the
list that is being processed for new event in hiddev_send_event().
Synchronize the operations over this list.
