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.
