serial: 8250: fix shared interrupts issues with SMP and RT kernels
With SMP kernels _irqsave spinlock disables only local interrupts, while
the shared serial interrupt could be assigned to the CPU that is not
currently starting up the serial port.
This might cause issues because serial8250_startup() routine issues
IRQ-triggering operations before registering the port in the IRQ chain
(though, this is fine to do and done explicitly because we don't want to
process any interrupts on the port startup).
With RT kernels and preemptable hardirqs, _irqsave spinlock does not
disable local hardirqs, and the bug could be reproduced much easily:
$ cat /dev/ttyS0 &
$ cat /dev/ttyS1
irq 42: nobody cared (try booting with the "irqpoll" option)

Disabling IRQ #42
After this, all serial ports on the given IRQ are non-functional.
To fix the issue we should explicitly disable shared IRQ before
issuing any IRQ-triggering operations.
I also changed spin_lock_irqsave to the ordinary spin_lock, since it
seems to be safe: chain does not contain new port (yet), thus nobody
will interfere us from the ISRs.
