From: Jiri Kosina <jkosina@xxxxxxx> 3.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. =============== commit 8fec02a73e31407e14986fca67dab48d4f777f0e upstream. In the unlikely case of hdev vanishing while hid_debug_events_read() was sleeping, we can't really break out of the case switch as with other cases, as on the way out we'll try to remove ourselves from the hdev waitqueue. Fix this by taking a shortcut exit path and avoiding cleanup that doesn't make sense in case hdev doesn't exist any more anyway.
