Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] Input: uinput: Sanity check on ff_effects_max and EV_FF

Currently the user can set ff_effects_max to zero with the EV_FF bit
(and the FF_GAIN and/or FF_AUTOCENTER bits) set,
in this case the uninitialized methods
ff->set_gain and/or ff->set_autocenter can be dereferenced,
resulting in a kernel oops.

Check in uinput_create_device() and
print a helpful message and return -EINVAL in case the check fails.

Changes in v2:
  - Rebase on pending patches from David Herrmann and Benjamin Tissoires:
    - v3 Input: uinput - add new UINPUT_DEV_SETUP and UI_ABS_SETUP ioctl
    - Input: uinput - rework ABS validation
  - Don't require EV_FF bit to be set when ff_effects_max is non-zero
  - Move check from uinput_setup_device() to uinput_create_device()
  - Update commit description

At the same time, the new UINPUT_DEV_SETUP and UI_ABS_SETUP ioctls were
tested as well (in both orders).
The legacy write() (instead of UINPUT_DEV_SETUP) was also tested.
