syzbot is hitting use-after-free bug in uinput module [1]. This is because kobject_uevent(KOBJ_REMOVE) is called again due to commit 0f4dafc0563c6c49 ("Kobject: auto-cleanup on final unref") after memory allocation fault injection made kobject_uevent(KOBJ_REMOVE) from device_del() from input_unregister_device() fail, while uinput_destroy_device() is expecting that kobject_uevent(KOBJ_REMOVE) is not called after device_del() from input_unregister_device() completed. Fix this problem by pretending as if kobject_uevent(KOBJ_REMOVE) from device_del() from input_unregister_device() did not fail.
