`uref->usage_index` is not always being properly checked, causing
hiddev_ioctl_usage() to go out of bounds under some cases. Fix it.

This patch fixes the following syzbot bug:

This patch fixes the bug, but in an ugly way. Checks on `uref` are already
being done in this code:

			if (cmd == HIDIOCGCOLLECTIONINDEX) {
				if (uref->usage_index >= field->maxusage)
					goto inval;
				uref->usage_index =
					array_index_nospec(uref->usage_index,
							   field->maxusage);
			} else if (uref->usage_index >= field->report_count)
				goto inval;

However it did not catch this bug since it's in an `else` bracket. Should
we move the above code out of the bracket? Would like to hear your opinion.
Thank you!
