patch "serial: core: fix port-lock initialisation" added to tty-linus

[gregkh]

This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled

    serial: core: fix port-lock initialisation

to my tty git tree which can be found at
    git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/tty.git
in the tty-linus branch.

The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree
(usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.)

The patch will hopefully also be merged in Linus's tree for the
next -rc kernel release.

If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

Subject: serial: core: fix port-lock initialisation

Commit f743061a85f5 ("serial: core: Initialise spin lock before use in
uart_configure_port()") tried to work around a breakage introduced by
commit a3cb39d258ef ("serial: core: Allow detach and attach serial
device for console") by adding a second initialisation of the port lock
when registering the port.

As reported by the build robots [1], this doesn't really solve the
regression introduced by the console-detach changes and also adds a
second redundant initialisation of the lock for normal ports.

Start cleaning up this mess by removing the redundant initialisation and
making sure that the port lock is again initialised once-only for ports
that aren't already in use as a console.
