Input: sysrq - rework re-inject logic

Internally 'disable' the filter when re-injecting Alt-SysRq instead
of relying on input core to suppress delivery of injected events
to the originating handler.

This allows to revert commit 5fdbe44d033d059cc56c2803e6b4dbd8cb4e5e39
which causes problems with existing userspace programs trying to
loopback the events via evdev.
