Subject: [PATCH 4.14 234/293] tty: serial: msm_serial: avoid system lockup condition

[ Upstream commit ba3684f99f1b25d2a30b6956d02d339d7acb9799 ]

The function msm_wait_for_xmitr can be taken with interrupts
disabled. In order to avoid a potential system lockup - demonstrated
under stress testing conditions on SoC QCS404/5 - make sure we wait
for a bounded amount of time.

Tested on SoC QCS404.
