[PATCH] Input: only send a syn event when needed in input_dev_release_keys

[Hans Holmberg]

A SYN event is reported in input_release_keys even if no keys are
released. Stop doing this as the superfluous event can prevent autosleep
if a user has opened a device with EPOLLWAKEUP enabled.

Based on a patch developed by Ting Li <ting.li@xxxxxxxxx>.
