Subject: [PATCH] serial: fix serial port lock init


> [   31.099528] BUG: spinlock bad magic on CPU#1, agetty/2608

the patch below fixes this. There's another incarnation of the bug that 
i bisected today, a spontaneous reboot crash with certain configs:

( but it's the same basic problem: we lost the lock init sequence when a
  patch was removed from the middle. )
