[PATCH] drivers/tty: fix BUG_ON when calls serial8250_suspend_port

From: Yang Yingliang

My kthread calls serial8250_suspend_port/serial8250_resume_port when the
system is booting, it triggers a BUG_ON:

BUG: failure at drivers/tty/serial/8250/8250_core.c:1852/serial_unlink_irq_chain()!
Kernel panic - not syncing: BUG!
CPU: 21 PID: 927 Comm: uart_debug_thre Not tainted 4.1.18+ #96

I found port->flags is used without lock in tty_port_block_til_ready(). The flags
will be overwritten with old value after it updates in uart_suspend_port().
CPU A CPU B
in uart_suspend_port in tty_port_block_til_ready
get port->flags
clear ASYNCB_INITIALIZED
set port->flags
The flags still has ASYNCB_INITIALIZED. When uart_suspend_port is called next time,
it trriggers the BUG_ON. So use set_bit/clear_bit to avoid the flags being overwritten.
