hidpp: fix fd leak
Upon unplugging the USB receiver, the file descriptor of /dev/hidrawX is
not closed.
With commit "HID: hidraw: correctly deallocate memory on device
disconnect"[1] (queued for 3.12), this missing close() causes a
/dev/hidrawX devuce to persist until UPower is restarted.
On earlier kernels, never remove your USB receiver or you will
experience random errors resulting from data structures corruption[2]
(which occurs because UPower tries to poll() or read() an hidraw device
while the kernel has already released the memory for it). Not UPowers
fault, but UPower makes this bug more likely since it runs as daemon.
