input_abs_set_val() can nominally call input_alloc_absinfo() which may
allocate memory with GFP_KERNEL flag. This does not happen when
input_abs_set_val() is called by the input core to set current MT slot when
handling a new input event, but it trips certain static analyzers.

Rearrange the code to access the relevant structures directly.

If git grep is to be believed, this is the only use of
input_abs_set_val. Maybe removing that function is an option?

Are there external drivers that rely on this (instead of sending an
event)?

Cheers,

Thanks for the review.

We generate input_abs_[get|set]_<item>() accessors and setters, and
there is a couple of users of input_abs_get_val() in the code, so
dropping just input_abs_set_val() is kind of hard. It might be useful
elsewhere although I have no idea if anyone is actually using it
anywhere...

Thanks.
