It looks like psmouse handles it with a mutex lock around freeing stuff
and calling the callback function pointers we set on init, so we
_should_ be safe unless I've missed something.
Add to it that none of the other psmouse drivers are doing locking on
their own, and I'm fairly sure that this is correct. (But if someone
knows better, please correct me.)
Serio and psmouse cores should handle all necessary locking, no worries here.
