[PATCH] serial: stm32: optimize spin lock usage

From: dillon min <dillon.minfei at gmail.com>

To avoid potential deadlock in spin_lock usage, change to use
spin_lock_irqsave(), spin_unlock_irqrestore() in process(thread_fn) context.
spin_lock(), spin_unlock() under handler context.

remove unused local_irq_save/restore call.

Was verified on stm32f469-disco board. need more test on stm32mp platform.
