Fixed bug 5360 - non-libudev joystick detection doesn't see controllers that were already connected

Simon McVittie

When watching for hotplug events we can poll the inotify fd, but we
still need to scan /dev/input once per process, otherwise we'll fail
to detect devices that were already connected.
