[ 139/171 ] virtio: console: add locking around c_ovq operations

[Steven Rostedt]

3.6.11.2 stable review patch.
If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Amit Shah <amit.shah@xxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 9ba5c80b1aea8648a3efe5f22dc1f7cacdfbeeb8 ]

When multiple ovq operations are being performed (lots of open/close
operations on virtio_console fds), the __send_control_msg() function can
get confused without locking.

A simple recipe to cause badness is:
* create a QEMU VM with two virtio-serial ports
* in the guest, do
  while true;do echo abc >/dev/vport0p1;done
  while true;do echo edf >/dev/vport0p2;done

In one run, this caused a panic in __send_control_msg().  In another, I
got

   virtio_console virtio0: control-o:id 0 is not a head!

This also results repeated messages similar to these on the host:

  qemu-kvm: virtio-serial-bus: Unexpected port id 478762112 for device virtio-serial-bus.0
  qemu-kvm: virtio-serial-bus: Unexpected port id 478762368 for device virtio-serial-bus.0
