7.2-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Jann Horn <[email protected]>

commit 28abce951343fcec26e397610868efa4e1395c3f upstream.

When fetch_item() is called by hid_scan_report() on an item with
HID_ITEM_TAG_LONG, it stores a pointer to the item data in
item->data.longdata instead of storing a value directly in
item->data.{u8/u16/u32}.

When item_udata() or item_sdata() encounters such an item, it incorrectly
assumes that the item is in short format, and therefore returns the lower
part of a kernel pointer reinterpreted as a number.

When a HID device is connected whose descriptor contains a
HID_GLOBAL_ITEM_TAG_REPORT_SIZE encoded in long format with size=4, this
causes the lower half of a kernel pointer to be printed into dmesg as a
number, like this:

    hid (null): invalid report_size 107953555

To fix it, let item_udata() and item_sdata() verify that the item is in
short format.

Note that this bug only affects hid_scan_report(), while the main parsing
pass hid_parse_collections() will always bail out when encountering a long
item.

Sidenote: There are currently no users of data.longdata; maybe we should
just remove any parsing of long-format descriptors as a follow-up.
