Proposed patch to get the Microsoft Sidewinder Force Feedback 2 working.

Three bugs are addressed:

1) The FF2 driver (usbhid/hid-pidff.c) sends commands to the stick during ff_init. However, this is called inside a block where driver_input_lock is locked, so the results of these initial commands are discarded. This one is the "killer", without this nothing else works.

2) The usbhid driver ignores an endpoint stall when sending control commands, causing the first few commands of the hid-pidff.c initialisation to get lost.

3) The FF2 driver does not set the effect ID when uploading an effect. The result is that the initial upload works but subsequent uploads to modify effect parameters are all directed at the last-created effect.

Patch created against kernel 3.13.0 .
