HID: steam: fix deadlock with input devices.
[ Upstream commit 6b538cc21334b83f09b25dec4aa2d2726bf07ed0 ] When using this driver with the wireless dongle and some usermode program that monitors every input device (acpid, for example), while another usermode client opens and closes the low-level device repeadedly, the system eventually deadlocks. The reason is that steam_input_register_device() must not be called with the mutex held, because the input subsystem has its own synchronization that clashes with this one: it is possible that steam_input_open() is called before input_register_device() returns, and since steam_input_open() needs to lock the mutex, it deadlocks. However we must hold the mutex when calling any function that sends commands to the controller. If not, random commands end up falling fail.
