Subject: [PATCH 14/26] serial: core: Document and assert lock requirements for irq helpers

The serial core provides two helper functions, uart_handle_dcd_change()
and uart_handle_cts_change(), for UART drivers to use at interrupt
time. The serial core expects the UART driver to hold the uart port lock
when calling these helpers to prevent state corruption.
