Jiri Kosina ac89895213 HID: elo: Revert USB reference counting ...

Commit 817b8b9c53 ("HID: elo: fix memory leak in elo_probe") introduced
memory leak on error path, but more importantly the whole USB reference
counting is not needed at all in the first place, as the driver itself
doesn't change the reference counting in any way, and the associated
usb_device is guaranteed to be kept around by USB core as long as the
driver binding exists.
