Subject: [PATCH] serial: drop debugging WARN_ON_ONCE() from uart_write()

syzbot is reporting lockdep warning upon

  int disc = 7;
  ioctl(open("/dev/ttyS3", O_RDONLY), TIOCSETD, &disc);

sequence. Do like what commit 5f1149d2f4bf ("serial: drop debugging
WARN_ON_ONCE() from uart_put_char()") does.

Reported-by: syzbot+f78380e4eae53c64125c@...kaller.appspotmail.com
Closes: https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?extid=f78380e4eae53c64125c

Example is https://syzkaller.appspot.com/text?tag=CrashReport&x=100271ec980000 .
But not using this example, for this link will disappear eventually.

By the way, do we want to also guard uart_port_lock'ed section using
printk_deferred_enter()/printk_deferred_exit(), for trying to use e.g.
WARN_ON() inside such section will result in the same lockdep warning?
