Subject: [PATCH xserver] Xi: flush hierarchy events after adding/removing
 master devices

The `XISendDeviceHierarchyEvent()` function allocates space to store up
to `MAXDEVICES` (256) `xXIHierarchyInfo` structures in `info`.

If a device with a given ID was removed and a new device with the same
ID added both in the same operation, the single device ID will lead to
two info structures being written to `info`.

Since this case can occur for every device ID at once, a total of two
times `MAXDEVICES` info structures might be written to the allocation.

To avoid it, once one add/remove master is processed, send out the
device hierarchy event for the current state and continue. That event
thus only ever has exactly one of either added/removed in it (and
optionally slave attached/detached).

CVE-2024-21885, ZDI-CAN-22744
