Input: evdev - fix EVIOCG{type} ioctl

From: Dmitry Torokhov <dmitry.torokhov@gmail.com>

The 'max' size passed into the function is measured in number of bits
(KEY_MAX, LED_MAX, etc) so we nedd to convert it accoidingly before tyring

###                           need               accordingly(?)     trying
