[CVE-2016-5829][Precise, Trusty, Vivid, Xenial] HID: hiddev: validate num_values for HIDIOCGUSAGES, HIDIOCSUSAGES commands

From: Scott Bauer <sbauer at plzdonthack.me>

This patch validates the num_values parameter from userland during the
HIDIOCGUSAGES and HIDIOCSUSAGES commands. Previously, if the report id was set
to HID_REPORT_ID_UNKNOWN, we would fail to validate the num_values parameter
leading to a heap overflow.
