Subject: Input: fix open count when closing inhibited device
From: Dmitry Torokhov <dmitry.torokhov@xxxxxxxxx>
commit 978134c4b192ed04ecf699be3e1b4d23b5d20457 upstream.
Because the kernel increments device's open count in input_open_device()
even if device is inhibited, the counter should always be decremented in
input_close_device() to keep it balanced.
