Subject: [PATCH] CHROMIUM: Input: synaptics - filter out the events with low z values

The single touch path imposes a minimum z value (with hysterisis) before
registering BTN_TOUCH. Apply the same (hard coded) threshold when
deciding how many fingers to report in the semi-mt path.

This patch improves performance of the Google Cr-48 chromebook's
extremely sensitive Synaptics profile sensor touchpad by filtering out
touch events for hovering fingers.

Note: We continue to use the same hard coded threshold value used in the
single touch case as it appears this works just as well on these
multitouch profile sensor pads as on whatever pads it was originally
discovered.
