Make i8042_flush lock the i8042_mutex before flushing the buffer. This will prevent i8042_flush from clearing the buffer while a PS/2 command is in progress. I'm not sure if this is really possible. We already hold the lock when calling i8042_command, so this makes i8042_flush have the same behavior.
