[PATCH] Input: reject parent overrides on managed input devices

[Dmitry Torokhov <dmitry.torokhov@gmail.com>]

When an input device is allocated with devm_input_allocate_device(), the
owner struct device is set as dev->dev.parent and holds the
devm_input_device_release resource. Later, input_register_device()
attaches the devm_input_device_unregister resource to dev->dev.parent.

Clearing or overriding dev->dev.parent before registration splits devres
ownership across different devices, which breaks managed lifetime
assumptions.

Verify via devres_find() that dev->dev.parent is non-NULL and still
holds the matching devm_input_device_release entry before registering a
managed input device, rejecting registration with -EINVAL otherwise.

Also add KUnit test coverage in input_test.c verifying that reparented
and NULL-parent managed input devices are rejected while preserving the
owner parent succeeds.
