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

wacom_bamboo_pad_pen_event() accesses wacom->shared->pen locklessly
relative to wacom_remove_shared_data() which nullifies it.  This
can lead to a Use-After-Free if the sibling device is removed while
events are being processed.

Resolve this by introducing RCU protection for pen and touch
pointers:

 - Annotate 'pen' and 'touch' in wacom_shared struct with __rcu.
 - Wrap lockless readers in wacom_bamboo_pad_pen_event() with
   rcu_read_lock() and rcu_dereference().
 - Update writers in wacom_sys.c using rcu_assign_pointer().
 - Use rcu_dereference_protected for comparisons under
   wacom_udev_list_lock.
 - Also use rcu_access_pointer in wacom_sibling_pending() and
   wacom_mode_change_work() to avoid warnings (while lockless access in
   the latter remains a pre-existing issue).
