Commit 3d5cb60e ("Input: simplify name handling for certain input
handles") introduced a regression for the EVIOCGNAME ioctl.

Before this, patch, the platform device's name was given back to
userspace which was good to identify devices. After this patch, the
device was ("event%d", minor) which is not descriptive at all.

This fixes the behaviour by taking input_dev->name.
