Input: evdev - use driver hint to compute size of event buffer

Some devices, in particular MT devices, produce a lot of data.  This
may lead to overflowing of the event queues in evdev driver, which
by default are fairly small. Let the drivers hint the average number
of events per packet generated by the device, and use that information
when computing the buffer size evdev should use for the device.
