Revert "[PATCH] usb: drivers/usb/core/devio.c dereferences a userspace pointer"

This reverts commit 3181da0d887e4bf696e961c993f70344b4cb905b.

As Al so eloquently points out, the patch is crap. The old code was fine,
the new code was bogus.

It never dereferenced a user pointer, the "->" operator was to an array
member, which gives the _address_ of the member (in user space), not an
actual dereference at all.
