Currently we credit entropy (via add_input_randomness()) regardless of
where an event comes form, a device itself, or an input handler, such as
evdev (and thus from userspace). While access to event devices is supposed
to be tightly controlled (one does not want random processes to be able to
observe or inject keystrokes), developers may use evdev to inject events
for testing purposes. Let's make sure that such events to not contribute
to the entropy to keep the pool 'pure' and do not expose developer's
boxes to not so random data.
