Input: i8042 - fix leaking of platform device on module removal
[ Upstream commit 81cd7e8489278d28794e7b272950c3e00c344e44 ]
Avoid resetting the module-wide i8042_platform_device pointer in
i8042_probe() or i8042_remove(), so that the device can be properly
destroyed by i8042_exit() on module unload.
