commit 18a1b06e5b91d47dc86c0a66a762646ea7c5d141 upstream.
The open method of hiddev handler fails to bring the device out of
autosuspend state as was promised in 0361a28d3f9a, as it actually has 2
blocks that try to start the transport (call hid_hw_open()) with both
being guarded by the "open" counter, so the 2nd block is never executed as
the first block increments the counter so it is never at 0 when we check
it for the second block.
Additionally hiddev_open() was leaving counter incremented on errors,
causing the device to never be reopened properly if there was ever an
error.
Let's fix all of this by factoring out code that creates client structure
and powers up the device into a separate function that is being called
from usbhid_open() with the "existancelock" being held.
Fixes: 0361a28d3f9a ("HID: autosuspend support for USB HID")

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
