Dmitry Torokhov 4097461897 Input: i8042 - break load dependency between atkbd/psmouse and i8042
As explained in 1407814240-4275-1-git-send-email-decui@microsoft.com we
have a hard load dependency between i8042 and atkbd which prevents
keyboard from working on Gen2 Hyper-V VMs.

> hyperv_keyboard invokes serio_interrupt(), which needs a valid serio
> driver like atkbd.c.  atkbd.c depends on libps2.c because it invokes
> ps2_command().  libps2.c depends on i8042.c because it invokes
> i8042_check_port_owner().  As a result, hyperv_keyboard actually
> depends on i8042.c.
>
> For a Generation 2 Hyper-V VM (meaning no i8042 device emulated), if a
> Linux VM (like Arch Linux) happens to configure CONFIG_SERIO_I8042=m
> rather than =y, atkbd.ko can't load because i8042.ko can't load(due to
> no i8042 device emulated) and finally hyperv_keyboard can't work and
> the user can't input: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/39820

To break the dependency we move away from using i8042_check_port_owner()
and instead allow serio port owner specify a mutex that clients should use
to serialize PS/2 command stream.
