Make autohide panel do not intercepts events in fullscreen app.

Patch of kde-workspace/plasma/desktop/shell/panelview.cpp file.

I changed PanelView::shouldHintHide() to return true if current active application is in fullscreen mode.

This fixes the issue for me.

It is better to use reviewboard.kde.org for submitting patch. A patch attached in bugzilla is easily to be flooded by other messages and forgotten.
