This error handling code can be reached before st->ts_input is
initialized, so it is safer to always use the original name, input_dev.

A simplified version of the semantic match that finds this problem is:

// <smpl>
@r exists@
local idexpression struct input_dev * x;
expression ra,rr;
@@

* x = input_allocate_device(...)
... when != x = rr
when != input_free_device(x,...)
when != if (...) { ... input_free_device(x,...) ...}
if(...) { ... when != x = ra
when forall
* when != input_free_device(x,...)
\(return <+...x...+>; \| return...; \) }

// </smpl>

The error handling in this function has been completely rewritten so the
bug is no longer there and this no longer applies.

Thanks,

Jonathan
