serial: 8250: synchronize and annotate UART_IER access
The UART_IER register is modified twice by each console write (serial8250_console_write()) under the port lock. Any driver code that accesses UART_IER must do so with the port locked in order to ensure consistent values, even when for read accesses. Add locking, lockdep notation, and/or comments everywhere UART_IER is accessed. The added locking is not fixing a real problem because it occurs where the console is not active. However, adding the locking to these non-critical paths greatly simplifies UART_IER access tracking by establishing a general policy that all UART_IER access is performed with the port locked.
