HID: fix hid_ignore_special_drivers module parameter
[ Upstream commit 4392bf333388cabdad5afe5b1500002d7b9c318e ] hid_ignore_special_drivers works fine until hid_scan_report autodetects and reassign devices (for hid-multitouch, hid-microsoft and hid-rmi). Simplify the handling of the parameter: if it is there, use hid-generic, no matter what, and if not, scan the device or rely on the hid_have_special_driver table. This was detected while trying to disable hid-multitouch on a Surface Pro cover which prevented to use the keyboard.
