bug#45628: 28.0.50; Scrolling on echo area with pixel-scroll-mode enabled locks up Emacs

[Amin Bandali]

As the Subject says, scrolling using the mouse wheel on the echo area
causes Emacs to freeze/lock up (cursor is changed to spinning circle),
when pixel-scroll-mode is enabled.

I can reproduce in emacs -Q after evaluating the following in *scratch*:

(require 'pixel-scroll)
(pixel-scroll-mode 1)
