HID: remove BKL from hiddev_ioctl_usage()
The race between ioctl and disconnect is guarded by low level hiddev device mutex (existancelock) since the commit 07903407 ("HID: hiddev cleanup -- handle all error conditions properly"), therefore we can remove the lock_kernel() from hiddev_ioctl_usage().
