[PATCH] Input: uinput - Add UI_SET_UNIQ ioctl handler

Support setting the uniq attribute of the input device. The uniq
attribute is used as a unique identifier for the connected device.

For example, uinput devices created by BlueZ will store the address of
the connected device as the uniq property.

Hi input maintainers,

I added this change to allow BlueZ to display the peer device address in
udev. BlueZ has been setting ATTR{name} to the peer address since it
isn't possible to set the uniq attribute currently.

I've tested this on a Chromebook running kernel v4.19 with this patch.

$ uname -r
4.19.85

$ dmesg | grep "input:" | tail -1
[ 69.604752] input: BeatsStudio Wireless as /devices/virtual/input/input17

$ udevadm info -a -p /sys/devices/virtual/input/input17

Udevadm info starts with the device specified by the devpath and then
walks up the chain of parent devices. It prints for every device
found, all possible attributes in the udev rules key format.
A rule to match, can be composed by the attributes of the device
and the attributes from one single parent device.

looking at device '/devices/virtual/input/input17':
KERNEL=="input17"
SUBSYSTEM=="input"
DRIVER==""
ATTR{inhibited}=="0"
ATTR{name}=="BeatsStudio Wireless"
ATTR{phys}=="00:00:00:6e:d0:74"
ATTR{properties}=="0"
ATTR{uniq}=="00:00:00:cc:1c:f3"

(I zeroed out part of the addresses above. The phys attribute
corresponds to the address of the Bluetooth controller on the Chromebook
and the uniq is the address of the headphones)
