Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Input: tests - fix use-after-free and refcount underflow in input_test_exit()

As per the comments for input_allocate_device() and
input_register_device(), input_free_device() must be called only to free
devices that have not been registered.  input_unregister_device()
already calls input_put_device(), thus leading to a use-after-free.

Moreover, the kunit_suite.exit() method is called after every test case,
even on failures.  As the test itself already does cleanups in its
failure paths, this may lead to a second use-after-free.

Fix the first issue by dropping the call to input_allocate_device() from
input_test_exit().
Fix the second issue by making the cleanup code conditional on a
successful test.
