tty/serial: do not free trasnmit buffer page under port lock
LKP has hit yet another circular locking dependency between uart
console drivers and debugobjects [1]:
CPU0 CPU1
rhltable_init()
__init_work()
debug_object_init
uart_shutdown() /* db->lock */
/* uart_port->lock */ debug_print_object()
free_page() printk()
call_console_drivers()
debug_check_no_obj_freed() /* uart_port->lock */
/* db->lock */
debug_print_object()
So there are two dependency chains:
uart_port->lock -> db->lock
And
db->lock -> uart_port->lock
This particular circular locking dependency can be addressed in several
ways:
a) One way would be to move debug_print_object() out of db->lock scope
and, thus, break the db->lock -> uart_port->lock chain.
b) Another one would be to free() transmit buffer page out of db->lock
in UART code; which is what this patch does.
It makes sense to apply a) and b) independently: there are too many things
going on behind free(), none of which depend on uart_port->lock.
The patch fixes transmit buffer page free() in uart_shutdown() and,
additionally, in uart_port_startup() (as was suggested by Dmitry Safonov).
