[PATCH v2] tablet: acecad: update the reference count of the usb interface structure

[Salah Triki]

Based on the following documentation usb_get_inf(), use usb_get_intf()
and usb_put_intf() in order to update the reference count of the usb
interface structure.

Documentation of usb_get_inf():

[quote]
Each live reference to a interface must be refcounted.

Drivers for USB interfaces should normally record such references
in their probe methods, when they bind to an interface, and release them
by calling usb_put_intf, in their disconnect methods.

As I mentioned earlier, you need to drop the reference if
input_register_device() fails.

Also as mentioned in other threads, this is not needed at all.
