The 'struct hid_bpf' contains a 'device_data' pointer field (of type
'u8 *') and an 'allocated_data' field (of type 'u32') that specifies the
size in bytes of the allocated memory for 'device_data'. Since
'device_data' is a pointer to 'u8' (elements of size 1 byte),
'allocated_data' represents the exact count of elements allocated for
'device_data'.

Annotate the 'device_data' field of 'struct hid_bpf' with the
'__counted_by_ptr' attribute, pointing to 'allocated_data'. This enables
bounds-checking sanitizers (like KASAN and UBSAN) to detect
out-of-bounds accesses to 'device_data'.

Because the count 'allocated_data' is always set before any access and
accurately tracks the allocated buffer size at all times, adding
'__counted_by_ptr' will not cause runtime panics or false-positive
bounds checks.

v2: Reorder the assignment of the buffer and the count field. It won't
    generate an exception during execution, but it's a good coding
    habit that also satisfies LLMs' paranoia.
