[Impact]
A memory corruption flaw was found in the Linux kernel’s human interface device
(HID) subsystem in how a user inserts a malicious USB device. This flaw allows
a local user to crash or potentially escalate their privileges on the system.

[Fix]
Cherry picked from upstream.

[Test case]
Compile and boot tested.

[Potential regression]
Low. Only modifies list_entry usage to be list_first_entry_or_null instead.
