[PATCH 1/3] input: evdev: use multi-reader buffer to save space

["Henrik Rydberg" <rydberg@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

In preparation of larger buffer needs, convert the current per-client
circular buffer to a single buffer with multiple clients. Since there
is only one writer but potentially many readers, use the somewhat
discouraged rwlock_t pattern.
