Subject: [PATCH] serial: Initialize spinlocks in 8250 and don't clobber them.

Initialize spinlocks in 8250 and don't clobber them.

Spinlock debugging fails in 8250.c because the lock fields in
irq_lists are not initialized.  Initialize them.

In serial8250_isa_init_ports(), the port's lock is initialized.  We
should not overwrite it.  Only copy in the fields we need.
