Subject: [PATCH tty v1 6/8] serial: 8250: lock port for omap8250_restore_regs()

omap8250_restore_regs() accesses UART_IER. This register is
modified twice by each console write (serial8250_console_write())
under the port lock. However, not all calls to omap8250_restore_regs()
are under the port lock.

Add the missing port locking around omap8250_restore_regs() calls. Add
lockdep notation to the omap8250_restore_regs().

Note that this is not fixing a real problem because the serial devices
are resumed before console printing is enabled.

However, adding this locking allows for clean locking semantics
for omap8250_restore_regs() so that lockdep can be used to identify
possible problems in the future. It also simplifies synchronization
of UART_IER in general by not needing to rely on such implementation
details.
