HID: automatically call usbhid_set_leds in usbhid driver
This patch (as1146c) makes usbhid automatically call usbhid_set_leds()
for any device that supports the keyboard boot protocol.
In theory this should be perfectly safe. BIOSes send the LED output
report as part of their normal device initialization, so any keyboard
device supporting the boot protocol has to be able to handle it.
As a side effect, the hid-dell and hid-bright drivers are no longer
needed, and the Logitech keyboard driver can be removed from hid-lg.
