None of the code can be moved to the usbhid probe function, because all
of it depends on the driver's (potential) report_fixup.

However I suggest moving this test to the probe which ensures performing
the test early enough.

Andi, could you test the attached patch?

Some devices have no input interrupt endpoint. These won't be handled
by usbhid, but currently they are not refused and reside on hid bus.

Perform this checking earlier so that we refuse to control such
a device early enough (and not pass it to the hid bus at all).
