[PATCH] Force key release for volume keys on Dell Studio 1557

[PATCH] Force key release for volume keys on Dell Studio 1557

[Jerone Young]

Dell Studio 1557 does not generate a release code when the volume keys
are pressed, causing them to generate infinite key presses. This forces
key release of these keys.
