[ Upstream commit 206342541fc887ae919774a43942dc883161fece ]
hid_input_report() is used in too many places to have a commit that
doesn't cross subsystem borders. Instead of changing the API, introduce
a new one when things matters in the transport layers:
- usbhid
- i2chid
This effectively revert to the old behavior for those two transport
layers.

[Lee: Implement hid_safe_input_report() directly and wrap it from

HID low level functions") is not present. Use int for report type
and literal 2 in i2c_hid_get_input() as 56fc4f7bc114 and

[ Upstream commit 63a694c51bf120a37550890b8e7736b4888985e9 ]
Commit 0a3fe972a7cb ("HID: core: Mitigate potential OOB by removing
bogus memset()"), added a check in hid_report_raw_event() to reject
reports if the received data size is smaller than expected. This was
intended to prevent OOB errors by no longer allowing zeroing-out of
shorter reports due to the lack of buffer size information.
However, this leads to regressions in hid_report_raw_event(), where
shorter than expected reports are rejected, even though their buffers
are sufficiently large to be zero-padded.
To solve this issue, Benjamin introduced a safer alternative in commit
206342541fc8 ("HID: core: introduce hid_safe_input_report()"), which
forwards the buffer size and allows hid_report_raw_event() to safely
zero-pad the data.
Convert uhid to use hid_safe_input_report() and pass UHID_DATA_MAX as
the buffer size. This prevents the reported regressions [1], allowing
hid core to zero-pad the shorter reports safely as expected.

Queued the series for 5.15 and 5.10, thanks. Patch 2/2 needed a context
tweak for 5.10, which has no READ_ONCE() on ->running in uhid.
