Subject: [PATCH] tty: Remove pointless synchronize_irq() in
 uart_port_shutdown()

From: Thomas Pfaff <tpfaff@....com>

Calling synchronize_irq() after free_irq() is pointless, the context to
the irq is already lost.
It was noticed while creating the bugfix "genirq: Synchronize interrupt 
thread startup".
