uart_port->lock -> tty_port->lock

This thing along is already a bit suspicious. We re-enter tty
here: tty -> uart -> serial -> tty

And we re-enter tty under uart_port->lock.

zone->lock --> uart_port->lock

Some debugging options/warnings/error print outs/etc introduce
deadlock patterns.

This adds zone->lock --> uart_port->lock, which then brings in
uart_port->lock --> tty_port->lock, which in turn brings
tty_port->lock --> zone->lock.

tty_port->lock --> zone->lock

For instance, I don't really like the re-entrant tty, at least not
under uart_port->lock. This, maybe, can be one of the solutions.

Another one, a quick and dirty one, (and so many people will blame
me for this) would be to break zone->{printk}->uart chain...

Something like this
