Input: fix locking in memoryless force-feedback devices
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.
