HID: uhid: forward raw output reports to user-space
Some drivers that use non-standard HID features require raw output reports sent to the device. We now forward these requests directly to user-space so the transport-level driver can correctly send it to the device or handle it correspondingly. There is no way to signal back whether the transmission was successful, moreover, there might be lots of messages coming out from the driver flushing the output-queue. However, there is currently no driver that causes this so we are safe. If some drivers need to transmit lots of data this way, we need a method to synchronize this and can implement another UHID_OUTPUT_SYNC event.
