serial8250_rx_chars() must be called from interrupt context and with
the port lock held. The port lock is released temporarily within that
function to call tty_flip_buffer_push(). However, there may be other
drivers that need to synchronize the tty_flip_buffer_push() call within
serial8250_rx_chars() with other contexts. Since the port lock cannot
be used for this synchronization, an optional spinlock argument is added.
If non-NULL, this will be locked during the tty_flip_buffer_push() call.
