HID: fix possible double-free on error path in hid parser

Freeing of device->collection is properly done in hid_free_device() (as
this function is supposed to free all the device resources and could be
called from transport specific code, e.g. usb_hid_configure()).

Remove all kfree() calls preceeding the hid_free_device() call.
