serial/amba-pl011: Disable interrupts around TX softirq
pl011_tx_softirq() currently uses spin_{,un}lock(), which are not sufficient to inhibit pl011_int() from being triggered by a local IRQ and trying to re-take the same lock. This can lead to deadlocks. This patch uses the _irq() locking variants instead to ensure that pl011_int() handling for a given port is deferred until any pl011_tx_softirq() work for that port is complete. Notes for stable: This patch fixes an issue that is fixed by the following upstream commit, which is a more substantial rewrite of the affected code, fixing multiple, mostly more minor issues: 1e84d223 serial/amba-pl011: Refactor and simplify TX FIFO handling The upstream patch was rejected for stable on the reasonable grounds that it was too big and complex a patch. The original buggy code was merged in v4.1, and the rewrite was merged in v4.2, leaving only v4.1 affected. This patch replaces the 1e84d223, for 4.1.x only.
