The data race happens on ps2dev->cmdcnt and ps2dev->cmdbuf contents.
__ps2_command reads that data concurrently with the interrupt handler.
As the result, for example, if a response arrives just after the
timeout, __ps2_command can copy out garbage from ps2dev->cmdbuf
but then see that ps2dev->cmdcnt is 0 and return success.
Stop the interrupt handler with serio_pause_rx() before
reading the results.
The data race was found with KernelThreadSanitizer (KTSAN).
