HID: wacom: Shrink critical section in wacom_add_shared_data

Browse source 
The size of the critical section in this function appears to be larger
than necessary. The `wacom_udev_list_lock` exists to ensure that one
interface cannot begin checking if a shared object exists while a second
interface is doing the same (otherwise both could determine that no
object exists yet and create their own independent objects rather than
sharing just one). It should be safe for the critical section to end
once a fresly-allocated shared object would be found by other threads
(i.e., once it has been added to `wacom_udev_list`, which is looped
over by `wacom_get_hdev_data`).

This commit is a necessary pre-requisite for a later change to swap the
use of `devm_add_action` with `devm_add_action_or_reset`, which would
otherwise deadlock in its error case.
