[PATCH] alps: Fix left touchpad button getting stuck when using it with trackpoint

[Hans de Goede]

When the left touchpad button gets pressed, and then the trackpoint is moved,
and then the button is released, the following happens:

1) touchpad packet is received, touchpad evdev node reports BTN_LEFT 1
2) pointingstick packet is received, the hw will report a BTN_LEFT 1 in this
   packet because when the trackstick is active it communicates the combined
   touchpad + pointingstick buttons in the trackstick packet, since
   alps_report_bare_ps2_packet passes NULL (*) for the dev2 parameter to
   alps_report_buttons the combining is not detected and the pointingstick
   evdev node will also report BTN_LEFT 1
3) on release of the button a pointingstick packet with BTN_LEFT 0 is received,
   and the pointingstick evdev node will report BTN_LEFT 0

Note how because of the passing as NULL for dev2 the touchpad evdev node
will never send BTN_LEFT 0 in this scenario leading to a stuck mouse button.

This is a regression in 4.0 introduced by commit 04aae283ba6a8
("Input: ALPS - do not mix trackstick and external PS/2 mouse data")

This commit fixes this by passing in the touchpad evdev as dev2 parameter
when calling alps_report_buttons for the pointingstick on alps v2 devices,
so that alps_report_buttons correctly detect that we're already reporting the
button as pressed via the touchpad evdev node, and will also send the release
event there.
