There is no double-free as both kfree() and input_free_device() know to
ignore NULL pointers and we ensure that both pointers to be initialized
(either point to allocated memory or be NULL). We do not expect either
of the memory allocations to fail so instead of handling failures
separately they are handled both at once.

Thanks.
