Subject: [PATCH 5.10 158/575] serial: 8250: fix racy uartclk update

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

commit 211cde4f5817dc88ef7f8f2fa286e57fbf14c8ee upstream.

Commit 868f3ee6e452 ("serial: 8250: Add 8250 port clock update method")
added a hack to support SoCs where the UART reference clock can
change behind the back of the driver but failed to add the proper
locking.

First, make sure to take a reference to the tty struct to avoid
dereferencing a NULL pointer if the clock change races with a hangup.

Second, the termios semaphore must be held during the update to prevent
a racing termios change.

Fixes: 868f3ee6e452 ("serial: 8250: Add 8250 port clock update method")
Fixes: c8dff3aa8241 ("serial: 8250: Skip uninitialized TTY port baud rate update")
