OOPS when disconnecting USB mouse while its event device is in use

[Peter Osterlund]

Running 2.6.10-rc3-bk15, I get an oops if I disconnect my USB mouse
while a userspace program has the corresponding event device opened.

I don't have this problem when running 2.6.10-rc3-mm1, which I think
is because of this patch from bk-input.

#   2004/10/21 23:50:25-05:00 dtor_core@xxxxxxxxxxxxx 
#   Input: evdev, joydev, mousedev, tsdev - remove class device and devfs
#          entry when hardware driver disconnects instead of waiting for
#          the last user to drop off. This way hardware drivers can be
#          unloaded at any time.

Maybe it would be a good idea to merge this patch before 2.6.10.
