The evdev devices in input-linux.c are read in blocks of one whole
event. If there are not enough bytes available, they are discarded,
instead of being kept for the next read operation. This results in
lost events, of even non-working devices.

This patch keeps track of the number of bytes to be read to fill up
a whole event, and then handle it.
