On the 4.1 kernels synaptics pretends to have 3 slots (the serial fw only does
2). This was added to avoid cursor jumps but has since been reverted for 4.2
(kernel commit dbf3c37086, 4.1.3 is still buggy). In some cases a TRIPLETAP
may be triggered without slot 2 ever activating.

While there are still those kernels out there, work around this bug by opening
a new touch point where none exists if the fake finger count exceeds the slot
count.

Changes to v2:
- split out the handling instead of having a tmp state variable, see Hans'
  comments from v2

Mainly sending this to the list again so I have a link to point people to.
If you're on 4.1.x add this patch to your distribution package.
