Subject: [PATCH v2] serial: mxs-auart: add spinlock around changing cts state

The uart_handle_cts_change() function in serial_core expects the caller
to hold uport->lock. For example, I have seen the below kernel splat,
when the Bluetooth driver is loaded on an i.MX28 board.

Changes in v2:
- Add more of the stack trace to show why the lock is necessary. Note
  that i removed some unrelated noise for unwinding, showing and dumping
  the stack trace.
- Add Fixes tag. Note that this commit do not fix 4d90bb147ef6 ("serial:
  core: Document and assert lock requirements for irq helpers") as such,
  but it was the closest commit I could find that makes sense.
- Cc stable. Commit b0af4bcb4946 ("serial: core: Provide port lock
  wrappers") is a prerequisite. Therefore, v6.1+.
