[PATCH] Input: avoid calling input_set_abs_val() in the event handling core

[Dmitry Torokhov]

input_abs_set_val() can nominally call input_alloc_absinfo() which may
allocate memory with GFP_KERNEL flag. This does not happen when
input_abs_set_val() is called by the input core to set current MT slot when
handling a new input event, but it trips certain static analyzers.

Rearrange the code to access the relevant structures directly.
