[Intrepid, Jaunty, Karmic] SRU: input: Blacklist digitizers from joydev.c

SRU justification:

Impact: The joydev driver blacklists some input devices based on a keymask. 
This does not work for the wacom driver as this does not set the checked key.

Fix: Add another key to the blacklist to catch digitizers and tablets. Patch 
prepared to be submitted upstream.

Testcase: Running X in Intrepid and onwards will result in a broken joystick 
device visible for the tabled. Which is not there after.
