[PATCH RESEND] serial: imx: Fix potential deadlock on sport->port.lock

[Chengfeng Ye]

As &sport->port.lock is acquired under irq context along the following
call chain from imx_uart_rtsint(), other acquisition of the same lock
inside process context or softirq context should disable irq avoid double
lock.

<deadlock #1>

imx_uart_dma_rx_callback()
--> spin_lock(&sport->port.lock)
<interrupt>
   --> imx_uart_rtsint()
   --> spin_lock(&sport->port.lock)

This flaw was found by an experimental static analysis tool I am
developing for irq-related deadlock.

To prevent the potential deadlock, the patch uses spin_lock_irqsave()
on the &sport->port.lock inside imx_uart_dma_rx_callback() to prevent
the possible deadlock scenario.
