[PATCH] HID: Fixed a crash in hid_report_raw_event() function.

From: Armando Visconti
Date: Thu May 19 2011 - 15:41:49 EST


I'm using a Data Modul EasyTouch USB multitouch controller,
which is issuing a hid report with a size equals to 0. The rsize
value gets set to 536870912 and Linux is crashing in the memset
because the value is too big.
