[ANNOUNCE] libevdev 1.4.6

Two major patches here:
• updated documentation to inform users that a filed descriptor should
be drained of any pending events before passed into libevdev_set_fd.
In most cases this doesn't matter, if your program opens the fd and
lets some time elapse before initializing the libevdev context, you
should read the updated documentation.
• a potential race condition in the creation of uinput devices could
return the wrong syspath. This race condition only existed on kernels
without the UI_GET_SYSNAME ioctl (available since 3.15).
Peter Hutterer (5):
Document that the fd should be drained before libevdev_set_fd
tools: fix coverty "may be used uninitialized" warnings
tools: shut up coverity about a potential close(-1)
uinput: fix race condition in uinput syspath check
libevdev 1.4.6
