[PATCH] Input: evdev: fix queueing of SYN_DROPPED event for EVIOCG[type] IOCTL case

[Aniroop Mathur]

Currently, when EVIOCG[type] ioctl call is issued and bits_to_user fails,
then SYN_DROPPED event is inserted in the event queue always.

However, it is not compulsory that some events are flushed out on every
EVIOCG[type] ioctl call like in case of empty event queue and in case when
EVIOCG[type] ioctl is issued for say A type of events but event queue does
not have any A type of events but some other type of events.

Therefore, insert SYN_DROPPED event only when some events have been flushed
out from event queue plus bits_to_user fails.
