commit 47587fc098451c2100dc1fb618855fc2e2d937af upstream.
I noticed that after hot unplugging a Logitech unifying receiver
(drivers/hid/hid-logitech-dj.c) the kernel would occasionally spew a
stack trace similar to this:
usb 1-1.1.2: USB disconnect, device number 7
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 2865 at fs/sysfs/group.c:216 device_del+0x40/0x1b0()

During device removal hid_disconnect() is called via hid_hw_stop() to
stop the device and free all its resources, including the sysfs
files. The problem is that if a user space process, such as upowerd,
holds a reference to a hidraw file the corresponding sysfs files will
be kept around (drop_ref() does not call device_destroy() if the open
counter is not 0) and it will be usb_disconnect() who, by calling
device_del() for the USB device, will indirectly remove the sysfs
files of the hidraw device (sysfs_remove_dir() is recursive these
days). Because of this, by the time user space releases the last
reference to the hidraw file and drop_ref() tries to destroy the
device the sysfs files are already gone and the kernel will print
the warning above.
Fix this by calling device_destroy() at USB disconnect time.
