HID: core: fix computation of the report size
The extra seven bits are only required when allocating the report buffer. We can not use those extra bytes for the length of the report in the generic implementation of .request because the device might (will) refuse the set_report command. This has been verified on the Atmel touchpad found on the Samsung Ativ 9 plus, which uses hid-multitouch and HID over I2C. Without this fix, the device refuses to switch to the multitouch mode, and it becomes unresponsive from the user point of view. Actually, this has been discussed during the initial submission of the commit 4fa5a7f7, see https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/3621751/ Unfortunately, I completely forgot about it later.
