[ Upstream commit 01f1ae2733e2bb4de92fefcea5fda847d92aede1 ]

The synchronize_irq(c->irq) will not return until the IRQ handler
mtk_uart_apdma_irq_handler() is completed. If the synchronize_irq()
holds a spin_lock and waits the IRQ handler to complete, but the
IRQ handler also needs the same spin_lock. The deadlock will happen.
The process is shown below:

cpu0 cpu1
mtk_uart_apdma_device_pause() | mtk_uart_apdma_irq_handler()
spin_lock_irqsave() |
| spin_lock_irqsave()
//hold the lock to wait |
synchronize_irq() |

This patch reorders the synchronize_irq(c->irq) outside the spin_lock
in order to mitigate the bug.
