commit 534cf755d9df99e214ddbe26b91cd4d81d2603e2 upstream.

Issuing a magic-sysrq via the PL011 causes the following lockdep splat,
which is easily reproducible under QEMU:

| sysrq: Changing Loglevel
| sysrq: Loglevel set to 9
|
| ======================================================
| WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected
| 5.9.0-rc7 #1 Not tainted
| ------------------------------------------------------
| systemd-journal/138 is trying to acquire lock:
| ffffab133ad950c0 (console_owner){-.-.}-{0:0}, at: console_lock_spinning_enable+0x34/0x70
|
| but task is already holding lock:
| ffff0001fd47b098 (&port_lock_key){-.-.}-{2:2}, at: pl011_int+0x40/0x488
|
| which lock already depends on the new lock.

[...]

| Possible unsafe locking scenario:
|
| CPU0 CPU1
| ---- ----
| lock(&port_lock_key);
| lock(console_owner);
| lock(&port_lock_key);
| lock(console_owner);
|
| *** DEADLOCK ***

The issue being that CPU0 takes 'port_lock' on the irq path in pl011_int()
before taking 'console_owner' on the printk() path, whereas CPU1 takes
the two locks in the opposite order on the printk() path due to setting
the "console_owner" prior to calling into into the actual console driver.

Fix this in the same way as the msm-serial driver by dropping 'port_lock'
before handling the sysrq.
