Comment odd EVIOCGRAB behaviour and reshuffle conditions a bit.
The reason for this rather weird approach is to ungrab immediately after getting a successful grab. Evdev shouldn't be hogging the device if nothing is done with it. Signed-off-by: Peter Hutterer <peter.hutterer@who-t.net> Reviewed-by: Jamey Sharp <jamey@minilop.net>
