User-space can use read() to get a single event from uhid devices. read() does never return multiple events. This allows us to extend the event structure and still keep backwards compatibility. If user-space wants to get multiple events in one syscall, they should use the readv()/writev() syscalls which are supported by uhid. This introduces a new lock which helps us synchronizing simultaneous reads from user-space. We also correctly return -EINVAL/-EFAULT only on errors and retry the read() when some other thread captured the event faster than we did.
