Subject: [PATCH RESEND] serdev: ttyport: do not used keyed wakeup in write_wakeup

Serdev does not use the file abstraction and specifically there will
never be anyone polling a file descriptor for POLLOUT events.

Just use plain wake_up_interruptible() in the write_wakeup callback and
document why it's there.

Here's a resend of the final patch from the series "[PATCH 0/8] serdev:
receive_buf and locking fixes", which did not apply after the series was
split over 4.15-rc and -next.
