HID: uhid: implement feature requests
HID standard allows sending a feature request to the device which is answered by an HID report. uhid implements this by sending a UHID_FEATURE event to user-space which then must answer with UHID_FEATURE_ANSWER. If it doesn't do this in a timely manner, the request is discarded silently. We serialize the feature requests, that is, there is always only a single active feature-request sent to user-space, other requests have to wait. HIDP and USB-HID do it the same way. Because we discard feature-requests silently, we must make sure to match a response to the corresponding request. We use sequence-IDs for this so user-space must copy the ID from the request into the answer. Feature-answers are ignored if they do not contain the same ID as the currently pending feature request. Internally, we must make sure that feature-requests are synchronized with UHID_DESTROY and close() events. We must not dead-lock when closing the HID device, either, so we have to use separate locks.
