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).
