This patch adds sanity checks and reject trackstick packets from ALPS devices
which do not have trackstick present (those without ALPS_DUALPOINT flag).

Make sure that driver does not process some bogus packets as trackstick data
when there is no trackstick packet. Patch also write warning do dmesg so
possible problems with driver (e.g received invalid data) will be visible
for debugging.
