[PATCH] evdev: Release eventual input device grabs when gettingdisconnected

[Björn Steinbrink]

When getting disconnected we need to release eventual grabs on the
underlying input device as we also release the input device itself.
Otherwise, we would try to release the grab when the client that
requested it closes its handle, accessing the input device which
might already be freed.

I can't reproduce the bug on my UP box and currently can't afford
crashing my SMP box (all the oopses seem to come from SMP kernels, so I
guess it needs SMP to crash), so while this doesn't show any new
problems, I can't tell whether it actually fixes anything. Testers
welcome!
