Subject: [PATCH] serial: 8250: drop lockdep annotation from serial8250_clear_IER()

The port lock is not always held when calling serial8250_clear_IER().
When an oops is in progress, the lock is tried to be taken and when it
is not, a warning is issued:
 WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 1 at drivers/tty/serial/8250/8250_port.c:707 	+0x57/0x60
 Modules linked in:
 CPU: 0 PID: 1 Comm: init Not tainted 6.5.0-rc5-1.g225bfb7-default+ #774 00f1be860db663ed29479b8255d3b01ab1135bd3
 Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC ...
 RIP: 0010:serial8250_clear_IER+0x57/0x60
...
 Call Trace:
  <TASK>
  serial8250_console_write+0x9e/0x4b0
  console_flush_all+0x217/0x5f0
...

Therefore, remove the annotation as it doesn't hold for all invocations.

The other option would be to make the lockdep test conditional on
'oops_in_progress' or pass 'locked' from serial8250_console_write(). I
don't think, that is worth it.
