So the real problem is that Intuos driver is calling hid_hw_request()
(which tries to grab the lock in usbhid_submit_report()) while handling
the CTRL IRQ (lock gets acquired there).

So the proper way to fix seems to be delaying the scheduling of the
proximity read event in wacom_intuos_inout() to workqueue.

Oh, now I understand the level of severity of this bug! :-)
