Now that input core acquires dev->event_lock spinlock and disables
interrupts when propagating input events, using spin_lock_bh() in
ff-memless driver is not allowed. Actually, the timer_lock itself
is not needed anymore, we should simply use dev->event_lock
as well.
Also do a small cleanup in force-feedback core.

Commit 656acd2bbc ("Input: fix locking in
force-feedback core") causes the following regression on m68k:
| linux/drivers/input/ff-core.c: In function 'input_ff_upload':
| linux/drivers/input/ff-core.c:172: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type
| linux/drivers/input/ff-core.c: In function 'erase_effect':
| linux/drivers/input/ff-core.c:197: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type
| linux/drivers/input/ff-core.c:204: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type
| make[4]: *** [drivers/input/ff-core.o] Error 1
As the incomplete type is `struct task_struct', including <linux/sched.h> fixes
it.

The newly added event_lock spinlock in the input core disallows sleeping
and therefore using mutexes in event handlers. Convert force-feedback
core to rely on event_lock instead of mutex to protect slots allocated
for fore-feedback effects. The original mutex is still used to serialize
uploading and erasing of effects.

Make sure that requested effect id is not out of range for the
device and that effect is present before requesting device to
play it.

Implement a new force feedback interface, in which all non-driver-specific
operations are separated to a common module. This includes handling effect
type validations, locking, etc.
The effects are now file descriptor specific instead of the previous strange
half-process half-fd specific behaviour. The effect memory of devices is not
emptied if the root user opens and closes the device while another user is
using effects. This is a minor change and most likely no force feedback
aware programs are affected by this negatively.
Otherwise the userspace interface is left unaltered.
