Input: evdev - fix evdev_write return value on partial writes

As was recently brought up on the busybox list
(http://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/busybox/2011-January/074565.html),
evdev_write doesn't properly check the count argument, which will
lead to a return value > count on partial writes if the remaining bytes
are accessible - causing userspace confusion.

Fix it by only handling each full input_event structure and return -EINVAL
if less than 1 struct was written, similar to how it is done in evdev_read.
