Lyude Paul ccbcf083d5 xwayland: Store xwl_tablet_pad in its own private key
When a slave device causes the master virtual pointer device to change
device types, the device's private data pointer
(device->public.devicePrivate) is also changed to match the type of the
slave device. This can be a problem though, as tablet pad devices will
set the device's private data pointer to their own xwl_tablet_pad
struct. This can cause us to dereference the pointer as the wrong type,
and result in a segfault:

Simple reproducer in gnome-shell: open up an Xwayland window, press some
tablet buttons, lock and unlock the screen. Repeat if it doesn't crash
the first time.

So, let's fix this by registering our own device-specific private key
for storing a backpointer to xwl_tablet_pad, so that all input devices
have their private data pointers set to their respective xwl_seat.

X Server

The X server accepts requests from client applications to create windows, which are (normally rectangular) "virtual screens" that the client program can draw into.

Windows are then composed on the actual screen by the X server (or by a separate composite manager) as directed by the window manager, which usually communicates with the user via graphical controls such as buttons and draggable titlebars and borders.

For a comprehensive overview of X Server and X Window System, consult the following article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_server

All questions regarding this software should be directed at the Xorg mailing list:
