USB input ati_remote autorepeat problem

Hello!

I have problems with autorepeat in ati_remote (drivers/usb/input) driver in "recent" kernels: all keys start repeating immediately without some delay.

This makes some things, like changing the channel prev/next or toggling fullscreen, etc... impossible/hard.

The problem seems to be related to FILTER_TIME and HZ=250 (which I forgot to change).

FILTER_TIME is defined to HZ / 20, and since 250 is not divisible by 20, the time will be too short to ignore enough events.

Defining FILTER_TIME to HZ / 20 + 1 seems to fix things, but I'm not sure if there are any bad side effects.
