Subject: [PATCH] HID: wacom: Use ktime_t rather than int when dealing with timestamps

Code which interacts with timestamps needs to use the ktime_t type
returned by functions like ktime_get. The int type does not offer
enough space to store these values, and attempting to use it is a
recipe for problems. In this particular case, overflows would occur
when calculating/storing timestamps leading to incorrect values being
reported to userspace. In some cases these bad timestamps cause input
handling in userspace to appear hung.
