3.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

commit a955358d54695e4ad9f7d6489a7ac4d69a8fc711 upstream.
Doing `ioctl(HIDIOCGFEATURE)` in a tight loop on a hidraw device and then disconnecting the device, or unloading the driver, can cause a NULL pointer dereference.
When a hidraw device is destroyed it sets 0 to `dev->exist`. Most functions check 'dev->exist' before doing its work, but `hidraw_get_report()` was missing that check.
