Some platform drivers use devm_input_allocate_device() together with
sparse_keymap_setup() in their .probe callbacks. While using the former
simplifies error handling, using the latter necessitates calling
sparse_keymap_free() in the error path and upon module unloading to
avoid leaking the copy of the keymap allocated by sparse_keymap_setup().
To help prevent such leaks and enable simpler error handling, make
sparse_keymap_setup() use devm_kcalloc() to allocate memory for the
keymap copy so that it gets automatically freed.
This works for both managed and non-managed input devices, although both
are handled a bit differently. Specifically, the managed keymap copy is
attached to a different struct device:
- for managed input devices, as all other managed resources are
attached to the device owning the input device, we do the same to
ensure freeing the keymap copy is properly slotted in the devres
stack,
- for non-managed input devices, the managed keymap copy is attached
to the struct device embedded inside the input device itself, so
that the keymap is freed after the last reference to the input
device is dropped, i.e. after input_unregister_device() is called.
Note that actions previously taken by sparse_keymap_free(), i.e. taking
the input device's mutex and zeroing its keycode and keycodemax fields,
are now redundant because the managed keymap will always be freed after
the input device is unregistered.

Changes from v1:
- Do not add a new function. Instead, make sparse_keymap_setup()
always use a managed allocation, which allows making
sparse_keymap_free() a noop and simplifies error handling.
- Update subject, commit message and comments accordingly.
