[PATCH libinput] timer: drain data on the timerfd when it triggers

I admit, I'm not sure of the effect it has leaving the data sitting there.
timerfd_create states that only the value read changes, not the actual size
of the data (which I couldn't reproduce in a quick test, it's always 1)
epoll sounds like it should keep triggering as long as data is sitting there
but it doesn't. Didn't have time to investigate further, so here's the patch
for what seems to be the correct thing to do.
