Input: uinput - add UI_GET_SYSNAME ioctl to retrieve the sysfs path
uinput is used in the xorg-integration-tests suite and in the wayland test suite. These automated tests suites create many virtual input devices and then hook something to read these newly created devices. Currently, uinput does not provide the created input device, which means that we rely on an heuristic to guess which input node was created. The problem is that is heuristic is subjected to races between different uinput devices or even with physical devices. Having a way to retrieve the sysfs path allows us to find without any doubts the event node.
