xserver git source commit "Remove SIGIO support for input [v5]" causes xf86-input-evdev build fail.

https://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/commit/?id=6a5a4e60373c1386b311b2a8bb666c32d68a9d99

P.S. I was not sure if I should have submitted the bug to the "Input/evdev" category.

Fixed by 28b2c880a9dbfd91e82397a0f22482d258a8b670:

    xfree86: Provide xf86BlockSIGIO and xf86ReleaseSIGIO as wrappers for input mutex
    
    Threaded input doesn't use SIGIO anymore, but existing drivers using
    xf86BlockSIGIO and xf86ReleaseSIGIO probably want to lock the input
    mutex during those operations. Provide inline functions to do this
    which are marked as 'deprecated' so that drivers will get warnings
    until they are changed.
