[PATCH 4/6] Input: Remove vmmouse port reservation

["Sinclair Yeh" <syeh@vmware.com>]

This port is used by quite a few guest-to-host communication
capabilities, e.g. getting configuration, logging, etc.  Currently
multiple kernel modules, and one or more priviledged guest user
mode app, e.g. open-vm-tools, use this port without reservation.

It was determined that no reservation is required when accessing
the port in this manner.
