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

Thank you to shoot the problem. 
I confirmed the problem and Eli's suggestion solves it.

I think that following patch would work but usage of `while’
does not look cool.  If there can is better style, please
suggest me.
