[PATCH] uinput crash maybe this is the FIX

[emard@softhome.net]

HI

THanks for all the hints.

Here's my fix for the situation in the uinput.
It generally breaks when Force feedback is removed,
sometimes request id slot is not freed correctly and
it can lead to crash and/or running out of slots.

Without knowing much what I'm doing, I added one
lock and it seems to fix the problem.

Please check is this the right approach on how to do
this locks....
