HID: fix waitqueue usage in hiddev
DECLARE_WAITQUEUE doesn't initialize the wait descriptor's task_list
to 'empty' but to zero.
prepare_to_wait() will not enqueue the descriptor to the waitqueue and
finish_wait() will do list_del_init() on a list head that contains
NULL pointers, which oopses.
This was introduced by 079034073 "HID: hiddev cleanup -- handle all
error conditions properly".
The prior code used an unconditional add_to_waitqueue() which didn't
care about the wait descriptor's list head and enqueued the thing
unconditionally.
The new code uses prepare_to_wait() which DOES check the prior list
state, so use DEFINE_WAIT instead.
