commit 179e8e47c02a1950f1c556f2b854bdb2259078fb upstream. The recent commit to fix a memory leak introduced an inadvertant NULL pointer dereference. The `wacom_wac->pen_fifo` variable was never intialized, resuling in a crash whenever functions tried to use it. Since the FIFO is only used by AES pens (to buffer events from pen proximity until the hardware reports the pen serial number) this would have been easily overlooked without testing an AES device. This patch converts `wacom_wac->pen_fifo` over to a pointer (since the call to `devres_alloc` allocates memory for us) and ensures that we assign it to point to the allocated and initalized `pen_fifo` before the function returns.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
