Add an assignment

In the function HandleTouches, the variable new_active_touches is being allocated in a stack, incremented or decremented and then it's being removed from a stack without modifying the actual variable in the structure.

Looks like it's not actually needed, UpdateTouchState takes care of this and this whole function is a noop. Can you give this patch a try please? Thanks.

I don't actually know how does it affect the behaviour of a pointer. I was working on another problem connected to a particular hardware - https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=196619 - and during skimming through the code I found that strange function. I've applied the patch, all I can report it doesn't break anything.
