HID: hid-input: Fix accessing freed memory during device disconnect
During unbinding the driver was dereferencing a pointer to memory already freed by power_supply_unregister(). Driver was freeing its internal description of battery through pointers stored in power_supply structure. However, because the core owns the power supply instance, after calling power_supply_unregister() this memory is freed and the driver cannot access these members. Fix this by storing the pointer to internal description of battery in a local variable before calling power_supply_unregister(), so the pointer remains valid.
