[PATCH 2/3] input: evdev: add new ioctl EVIOCSIFTYPE / EVIOCGIFTYPE

[WEN Pingbo]

This patch depends on 'introduce new evdev interface'.

Userspace cat set / get evdev interface type via the two ioctl
commands. And default interface type is EV_IF_LEGACY, so the old binary
will work normal with new kernel. Maybe we should change this default
option to encourage people to move to new interface.

And since all events are stored as input_value in evdev, there are no
need to flush evdev_client's buffer if we change clk_type and if_type.
