[RFC/PATCH] Input: release MT fingers on device reset/disconnect

[Yufeng Shen]

We are already releasing all pressed keys on device reset and
disconnect. This patch adds the finger release for multi-touch
device.

Different than the key release logic that only the pressed keys
are released, here all the possible fingers are released even
it is not recorded as touched down in the input_dev's internal
state. The motivation is that while releasing an alreay released
finger won't do harm to downstream, it is helpful in the case
when the downstream is out of sync with input_dev's internal
state, we are bringing them back to in sync by cleaning up both
input_dev and downstream's finger states.
