Subject: epca: lock_kernel push down
From: Alan Cox <alan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Prepare epca for removing the lock from above. Most of epca is internally
locked so we can trivially push it down to a few bits of code. Drop the TIOCG/SSOFTCAR handling as that is done *properly* with locks by the mid layer.
