Input: uinput - avoid FF flush when destroying device

Normally, when input device supporting force feedback effects is being
destroyed, we try to "flush" currently playing effects, so that the
physical device does not continue vibrating (or executing other effects).
Unfortunately this does not work well for uinput as flushing of the effects
deadlocks with the destroy action:

- if device is being destroyed because the file descriptor is being closed,
  then there is noone to even service FF requests;

- if device is being destroyed because userspace sent UI_DEV_DESTROY,
  while theoretically it could be possible to service FF requests,
  userspace is unlikely to do so (they'd need to make sure FF handling
  happens on a separate thread) even if kernel solves the issue with FF
  ioctls deadlocking with UI_DEV_DESTROY ioctl on udev->mutex.

To avoid lockups like the one below, let's install a custom input device
flush handler, and avoid trying to flush force feedback effects when we
destroying the device, and instead rely on uinput to shut off the device
properly.
