Subject: [PATCH 4.9 13/60] Input: uinput - fix crash when mixing old and new init style

4.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Dmitry Torokhov <dmitry.torokhov@...il.com>

commit 601bbbe0517303c9f8eb3d75e11d64efed1293c9 upstream.

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_PHYS, "Test");

        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);
