The WARNING occurs when two processes concurrently write to the mac-hid
emulation sysctl, causing a race condition in mac_hid_toggle_emumouse().
Both processes read old_val=0, then both try to register the input handler,
leading to a double list_add of the same handler.

Fix this by moving the old_val read inside the mutex lock region.
