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

Browse source 
This reverts commit 786dc1d3d7.

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.
