We want to allow drivers to call input_event() at any time after the
device got allocated. This means input_event() and input_register_device()
must be allowed to run in parallel.
The only conflicting calls in input_register_device() are init_timer() and
dev_set_name(). Both can safely be moved to device allocation and we're
good to go.
