[PATCH xf86-input-libinput] Swap the registered input device on DEVICE_OFF when needed

Tue Oct 18 01:47:07 UTC 2016


If we don't swap out the pInfo previously passed to xf86AddEnabledDevice(),
the thread eventually calls read_input on a struct that has been deleted.
Avoid this by swapping out the to-be-destroyed pInfo with the first one we
find.

Reproducer: sudo udevadm trigger --type=devices --action=add
