[PATCH 6.6.y 3/3] tty: serial: samsung: Remove redundant port lock acquisition in rx helpers

[Sasha Levin <sashal@kernel.org>]

From: Tudor Ambarus <tudor.ambarus@linaro.org>

[ Upstream commit a3bb136bff5e6a5e48cdd813246c9c4686feaaa9 ]

Sashiko identified a deadlock when the console flow is engaged [1].

When console flow control is enabled (UPF_CONS_FLOW),
s3c24xx_serial_stop_tx() calls s3c24xx_serial_rx_enable() and
s3c24xx_serial_start_tx() calls s3c24xx_serial_rx_disable().

The serial core framework invokes the .stop_tx() and .start_tx()
callbacks with the port->lock spinlock already held. Furthermore, all
internal driver paths that invoke stop_tx (such as the DMA TX
completion handler s3c24xx_serial_tx_dma_complete() or the PIO TX IRQ
handler s3c24xx_serial_tx_irq()) also acquire port->lock prior to
calling it. (Note that s3c24xx_serial_start_tx() is only invoked by the
serial core).

However, s3c24xx_serial_rx_enable() and s3c24xx_serial_rx_disable()
unconditionally attempt to acquire port->lock again using
uart_port_lock_irqsave(). Since spinlocks are not recursive, this
causes a deadlock on the same CPU when console flow control is engaged.

Remove the redundant lock acquisition from both rx helper functions.
