HID: core: Avoid uninitialized buffer access
hid_connect adds various strings to the buffer but they're all conditional. You can find circumstances where nothing would be written to it but the kernel will still print the supposedly empty buffer with printk. This leads to corruption on the console/in the logs. Ensure buf is initialized to an empty string.
