UHID_CREATE2:
HID report descriptor data (rd_data) is an array in struct uhid_create2_req,
instead of a pointer. Enables use from languages that don't support pointers,
e.g. Python.

UHID_INPUT2:
Data array is the last field of struct uhid_input2_req. Enables userspace to
write only the required bytes to kernel (ev.type + ev.u.input2.size + the part
of the data array that matters), instead of the entire struct uhid_input2_req.

Note:
UHID_CREATE2 increases the total size of struct uhid_event slightly, thus
increasing the size of messages that are queued for userspace. However, this
won't affect the userspace processing of these events.

[Jiri Kosina &lt;jkosina@suse.cz&gt;: adjust to hid_get_raw_report() and
				hid_output_raw_report() API changes]

HID core provides the same functionality and can convert the input event
to a raw output report. We can thus drop UHID_OUTPUT_EV and rely on the
mandatory UHID_OUTPUT.

User-space wasn't able to do anything with UHID_OUTPUT_EV, anyway. They
don't have access to the report fields.

<title>HID: uhid: use __packed__ for uhid_feature_answer_req</title>

We use __packed__ for all API structures so we can extend them without
breaking alignment rules. We do try to explicitly align the structures,
but to be safe we also use __packed__.
uhid_feature_answer_req is already 64bit aligned so we can add __packed__
without breaking ABI.
