[PATCH xserver v2] inputthread: On Linux leave the main thread's name as-is

[Hans de Goede]

From: Peter Hutterer <peter.hutterer at who-t.net>

On Linux, setting the main thread's name changes the program name
(/proc/self/comm). Setting it to MainThread breaks scripts that rely on
the command name, e.g. ps -C Xorg.
