Subject: [PATCH] HID: wacom: Fix Use-After-Free in wacom_intuos_pad

wacom_intuos_pad() accesses wacom->shared->touch_input locklessly
inside the interrupt handler context.  If the Touch sibling device
is disconnected, wacom_remove_shared_data() clears 'touch_input'
outside any lock, creating a Time-of-Check to Time-of-Use (TOCTOU)
race condition where a preempted reader in interrupt context
dereferences the freed pointer, leading to a Use-After-Free.

Resolve this by introducing RCU protection for the touch_input
pointer:

 - Annotate 'touch_input' in wacom_shared struct with __rcu
 - Wrap all lockless readers in wacom_wac.c with guard(rcu)() and
   rcu_dereference() using a unified wacom_report_touch_mute()
   helper
 - Update writers in wacom_sys.c using rcu_assign_pointer()
 - Call synchronize_rcu() in wacom_remove_shared_data() to ensure
   all active RCU readers have finished before the input device is
   freed

Also wrap wacom_set_shared_values() and touch/pen assignments in
wacom_add_shared_data() inside the wacom_udev_list_lock to serialize
concurrent probe assignments, and verify that 'shared->touch == hdev'
before setting touch_input to prevent concurrent sibling probe state
desynchronization.
