[PATCH v2 1/2] serial: sifive: lock port in startup()/shutdown() callbacks

startup()/shutdown() callbacks access SIFIVE_SERIAL_IE_OFFS.
The register is also accessed from write() callback.

If console were printing and startup()/shutdown() callback
gets called, its access to the register could be overwritten.

Add port->lock to startup()/shutdown() callbacks to make sure
their access to SIFIVE_SERIAL_IE_OFFS is synchronized against
write() callback.

Hi,

I'm sorry that I wasn't aware of how Cc stable should be done. 

I added Cc for stable but please tell me if this patch should be
resent or if there is any that is missing.

Sincerely,
Ryo Takakura
