Subject: [PATCH] Input: uinput - fix crash when mixing old and new init style

If user tries to initialize uinput device mixing old and new style
initialization (i.e. using old UI_SET_ABSBIT instead of UI_ABS_SETUP,
we forget to allocate input->absinfo and will crash when trying to send
absolute events:

        ioctl(ui, UI_DEV_SETUP, &us);
        ioctl(ui, UI_SET_EVBIT, EV_ABS);
        ioctl(ui, UI_SET_ABSBIT, ABS_X);
        ioctl(ui, UI_SET_ABSBIT, ABS_Y);
        ioctl(ui, UI_DEV_CREATE, 0);
