Input: libps2 - annotate lockless command wait conditions
This commit introduces ps2_is_waiting() to annotate lockless wait conditions
on ps2dev->flags and ps2dev->cmdcnt with data_race(READ_ONCE(...)).

[Severity: Low]
Should ps2_drain() also use !ps2_is_waiting(ps2dev, PS2_FLAG_CMD) for its
wait_event_timeout() condition?
drivers/input/serio/libps2.c:ps2_drain() {
...
scoped_guard(serio_pause_rx, ps2dev->serio) {
ps2dev->flags = PS2_FLAG_CMD;
ps2dev->cmdcnt = maxbytes;
}
wait_event_timeout(ps2dev->wait,
!(ps2dev->flags & PS2_FLAG_CMD),
msecs_to_jiffies(timeout));
}
Like ps2_do_sendbyte() and __ps2_command(), ps2_drain() drops
ps2dev->serio->lock before waiting for the receive interrupt handler to
clear PS2_FLAG_CMD, leaving an unannotated data race on ps2dev->flags.
