[PATCH v2 5/7] input: goldfish: Fix multitouch event handling

[Aleksandar Markovic]

From: Lingfeng Yang <lfy@xxxxxxxxxx>

Register Goldfish Events device properly as a multitouch device,
and send SYN_REPORT event in appropriate cases only.

If SYN_REPORT is sent on every single multitouch event, it breaks
the multitouch. The multitouch becomes janky and having to click
2-3 times to do stuff (plus randomly activating notification bars
when not clicking). If these SYN_REPORT events are supressed,
multitouch will work fine, plus the events will have a protocol
that looks nice.

In addition, Goldfish Events device needs to be registerd as a
multitouch device by issuing input_mt_init_slots. Otherwise,
input_handle_abs_event in drivers/input/input.c will silently drop
all ABS_MT_SLOT events, casusing touches with more than one finger
not to work properly.
