Subject: [PATCH] HID: wacom: Fix deadlock on proximity in events with the Intuos Draw

Unfortunately, when we have an Intuos Draw connected using a USB
connection, wacom's IRQ handler will be called while the lock for the
usbhid driver is held by hid_ctrl. This means when we try to schedule a
new proximity event in wacom_intuos_schedule_prox_event() by calling
hid_hw_request(), we'll try to take the lock a second time which
deadlocks the system. This patch fixes that behavior by initializing a
worker when we have a INTUOSHT2 device connected, and using that worker
to schedule the proximity event instead.
