[lvc-project] [PATCH 1/2] HID: roccat: fix locking in roccat_connect() and roccat_disconnect()

Extend critical section in roccat_connect() to ensure that partially
initialized 'struct roccat_device' is never exposed in 'devices' list,
and do the same in roccat_disconnect() to avoid racy 'devices' access
against roccat_release().
