auxdisplay: ht16k33: rework input device initialization
This patch fixes following issues in input device (keypad) handling: - requesting IRQ before allocating and initializing parts of the device that can be referenced from IRQ handler is racy, even if we try to disable interrupt after requesting it. Let's move allocations around so that everything is ready by the time we request IRQ. - using threaded interrupt handler to schedule a work item it sub-optimal. Disabling and then re-enabling interrupts in work item and in open/close methods is prone to races and exactly the reason theraded interrupts were introduced. Let's use the infrastructure properly and keep scanning the matrix array in IRQ thread, stopping when there are no keys, or when told to do so.
