Subject: [PATCH v1] Bluetooth: btnxpuart: Resolve TX timeout error in power save stress test

This fixes the tx timeout issue seen while running a stress test on
btnxpuart for couple of hours, such that the interval between two HCI
commands coincide with the power save timeout value of 2 seconds.

Test procedure using bash script:
<load btnxpuart.ko>
hciconfig hci0 up
//Enable Power Save feature
hcitool -i hci0 cmd 3f 23 02 00 00
while (true)
do
    hciconfig hci0 leadv
    sleep 2
    hciconfig hci0 noleadv
    sleep 2
done

Error log, after adding few more debug prints:
[ 2206.497227] Bluetooth: btnxpuart_queue_skb(): 01 0A 20 01 00
[ 2206.498239] Bluetooth: hci0: Set UART break: on, status=0
[ 2206.503283] Bluetooth: hci0: btnxpuart_tx_wakeup() tx_work scheduled
[ 2206.503299] Bluetooth: hci0: btnxpuart_tx_work() dequeue: 01 0A 20 01 00
Can't set advertise mode on hci0: Connection timed out (110)
[ 2208.514238] Bluetooth: hci0: command 0x200a tx timeout

When the power save mechanism turns on UART break, and btnxpuart_tx_work()
is scheduled simultaneously, psdata->ps_state is read as PS_STATE_AWAKE,
which prevents the psdata->work from being scheduled, which is responsible
to turn OFF UART break.

This issue is fixed by adding a ps_lock mutex around UART break on/off as
well as around ps_state read/write.
btnxpuart_tx_wakeup() will now read updated ps_state value. If ps_state is
PS_STATE_SLEEP, it will first schedule psdata->work, and then it will
reschedule itself once UART break has been turned off and ps_state is
PS_STATE_AWAKE.

Tested above script for 50,000 iterations and TX timeout error was not
observed anymore.
