[PATCH] HID: core: do not reject devices when they declare too many usages

[Benjamin Tissoires]

Some device present proprietary collections with a usage min of 0x00 and
a usage max of 0xffff. hid-core currently reject them while most of the
time this is harmless.
Let's ignore the exceeding usages, and hope for the best.
