Input: uinput - fix setting up device name

From: David Herrmann <dh.herrmann@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

The check for non-empty device name was botched since we tried to account
for extra space for the terminating zero at the same time. Convert to
kstrndup() to avoid this problem.

Acked-by: Aristeu Rozanski <aris@xxxxxxxxx>
