Benjamin Tissoires e3480a61fc Input: uinput - add UI_GET_SYSNAME ioctl to retrieve the sysfs path
uinput is used in the xorg-integration-tests suite and in the wayland
test suite. These automated tests suites create many virtual input
devices and then hook something to read these newly created devices.

Currently, uinput does not provide the created input device, which means
that we rely on an heuristic to guess which input node was created.
The problem is that is heuristic is subjected to races between different
uinput devices or even with physical devices. Having a way to retrieve
the sysfs path allows us to find without any doubts the event node.

/*
* To write a force-feedback-capable driver, the upload_effect
* and erase_effect callbacks in input_dev must be implemented.
* The uinput driver will generate a fake input event when one of
* these callbacks are invoked. The userspace code then uses
* ioctls to retrieve additional parameters and send the return code.
* The callback blocks until this return code is sent.
*
* The described callback mechanism is only used if ff_effects_max
* is set.
*
* To implement upload_effect():
* 1. Wait for an event with type == EV_UINPUT and code == UI_FF_UPLOAD.
* A request ID will be given in 'value'.
* 2. Allocate a uinput_ff_upload struct, fill in request_id with
* the 'value' from the EV_UINPUT event.
* 3. Issue a UI_BEGIN_FF_UPLOAD ioctl, giving it the
* uinput_ff_upload struct. It will be filled in with the
* ff_effects passed to upload_effect().
* 4. Perform the effect upload, and place a return code back into
the uinput_ff_upload struct.
* 5. Issue a UI_END_FF_UPLOAD ioctl, also giving it the
* uinput_ff_upload_effect struct. This will complete execution
* of our upload_effect() handler.
*
* To implement erase_effect():
* 1. Wait for an event with type == EV_UINPUT and code == UI_FF_ERASE.
* A request ID will be given in 'value'.
* 2. Allocate a uinput_ff_erase struct, fill in request_id with
* the 'value' from the EV_UINPUT event.
* 3. Issue a UI_BEGIN_FF_ERASE ioctl, giving it the
* uinput_ff_erase struct. It will be filled in with the
* effect ID passed to erase_effect().
* 4. Perform the effect erasure, and place a return code back
* into the uinput_ff_erase struct.
* 5. Issue a UI_END_FF_ERASE ioctl, also giving it the
* uinput_ff_erase_effect struct. This will complete execution
* of our erase_effect() handler.
