Input: sparse-keymap - use a managed allocation for keymap copy
Some platform drivers use devm_input_allocate_device() together with sparse_keymap_setup() in their .probe callbacks. While using the former simplifies error handling, using the latter necessitates calling sparse_keymap_free() in the error path and upon module unloading to avoid leaking the copy of the keymap allocated by sparse_keymap_setup(). To help prevent such leaks and enable simpler error handling, make sparse_keymap_setup() use devm_kmemdup() to create the keymap copy so that it gets automatically freed. This works for both managed and non-managed input devices as the keymap is freed after the last reference to the input device is dropped. Note that actions previously taken by sparse_keymap_free(), i.e. taking the input device's mutex and zeroing its keycode and keycodemax fields, are now redundant because the managed keymap will always be freed after the input device is unregistered.
