o USB: usbkbd fix

Dave, why do you even bother with usbkbd? It MUST DIE and get removed. Please, do me a favour: kill CONFIG_USB_KBD from your configuration and let me and Vojtech know if something actually fails. The hid must support all devices which were supported bye usbkbd.

They have a point, usbkbd.c is 9K of source, on sparc64 hid.o is some 50K of object code. :-)

I know. That's why it still exists.

Peter, first relax. :-)

Second, I was merely fixing a build error reported by a user.

I personally use USB HID, but as long as USBKBD sits in the tree, it should at least build.
