Subject: [PATCH 4.19 290/346] USB: serial: digi_acceleport: fix write-wakeup deadlocks

From: Johan Hovold <johan@...nel.org>

commit 5098e77962e7c8947f87bd8c5869c83e000a522a upstream.

The driver must not call tty_wakeup() while holding its private lock as
line disciplines are allowed to call back into write() from
write_wakeup(), leading to a deadlock.

Also remove the unneeded work struct that was used to defer wakeup in
order to work around a possible race in ancient times (see comment about
n_tty write_chan() in commit 14b54e39b412 ("USB: serial: remove
changelogs and old todo entries")).

Fixes: 1da177e4c3f4 ("Linux-2.6.12-rc2")
