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

This patch aims to fix two potential bug:
- no lock to protect uart register in this case

  stm32_usart_threaded_interrupt()
     spin_lock(&port->lock);
     ...
     stm32_usart_receive_chars()
       uart_handle_sysrq_char();
       sysrq_function();
       printk();
         stm32_usart_console_write();
           locked = 0; //since port->sysrq is not zero,
                         no lock to protect forward register
                         access.

- if add spin_trylock_irqsave() to protect uart register for sysrq = 1 case,
  that might got recursive locking under UP.
  So, use uart_prepare_sysrq_char(), uart_unlock_and_check_sysrq()
  move sysrq handler position to irq/thread_d handler, just record
  sysrq_ch in stm32_usart_receive_chars() by uart_prepare_sysrq_char()
  delay the sysrq process to next interrupt handler.

  new flow:

  stm32_usart_threaded_interrupt()/stm32_usart_interrupt()
  spin_lock_irqsave(&port->lock);
  ...
  uart_unlock_and_check_sysrq();
     spin_unlock_irqrestore();
     handle_sysrq(sysrq_ch);
  stm32_usart_threaded_interrupt()//stm32_usart_interrupt() return

v3: add uart_prepare_sysrq_char(), uart_unlock_and_check_sysrq() to move
    sysrq handler inside interrupt routinei to avoid recursive locking,
    according to Johan Hovold suggestion, thanks.
