[PATCH v2] HID: Input: Add battery list cleanup with devm action

[Rafael Passos]

The batteries list (hdev->batteries) is not cleaned up during
hidinput_disconnect(), but struct hid_battery entries are allocated
with devm_kzalloc.
When a driver is unbound (e.g. during devicereprobe), devm frees those
entries while their list_head nodesremain dangling in hdev->batteries,
which persists across rebinds.

Hi, I hope there is time to land this in this cycle.
Tell me if I should make any changes.
I built and tested it againts the mainline.
I dont have devices with multiple batteries to test.

Bug report link:
    https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260602011949.2825852-1-rafael@rcpassos.me/

I received a sashiko review, and looked at wacom drivers for inspiration.

Changes in v2:
- removed list deletion from hidinput_disconnect
- new hidinput_cleanup_battery method
- register the cleanup call using devm action
  in hidinput_setup_battery

If my searching was corect, this shoul be called when devres releases its group
The commit message changed, because it referenced the
hidinput_disconnect method.
