[RFC][PATCH 4/6] serial: add uart port locking helpers

[Sergey Senozhatsky]

UART port spin_lock is one of the locks that can cause a
printk-recursion deadlock, thus we need to lock it from
printk_safe context. An example of a possible deadlock:

   IRQ
   foo_console_handle_IRQ()
    spin_lock(&uart_port->lock)
     tty_wakeup()
      printk()
       call_console_drivers()
        foo_console_write()
         spin_lock(&uart_port->lock)  << deadlock

This patch adds uart_port->lock helper macros which take care
of printk_safe context and redirect potentially unsafe printk()
calls to per-CPU buffers, which we flush later from safe a
context. The helper macros will turn the above mentioned deadlock
scenario into:

   IRQ
   foo_console_handle_IRQ()
    printk_safe_enter()
    spin_lock(&uart_port->lock)
     tty_wakeup()
      printk()
       printk_safe_log_store()
        irq_work_queue()
    spin_unlock(&uart_port->lock)
    printk_safe_exit()
   iret

   IRQ
    printk_safe_flush_buffer()
     vprintk_deferred()
