    serial: cpm_uart: Avoid suspicious locking
    
    [ Upstream commit 36ef11d311f405e55ad8e848c19b212ff71ef536 ]
    
      CHECK   drivers/tty/serial/cpm_uart/cpm_uart_core.c
    drivers/tty/serial/cpm_uart/cpm_uart_core.c:1271:39: warning: context imbalance in 'cpm_uart_console_write' - unexpected unlock
    
    Allthough 'nolock' is not expected to change, sparse find the following
    form suspicious:
    
            if (unlikely(nolock)) {
                    local_irq_save(flags);
            } else {
                    spin_lock_irqsave(&pinfo->port.lock, flags);
            }
    
            cpm_uart_early_write(pinfo, s, count, true);
    
            if (unlikely(nolock)) {
                    local_irq_restore(flags);
            } else {
                    spin_unlock_irqrestore(&pinfo->port.lock, flags);
            }
    
    Rewrite it a more obvious form:
    
            if (unlikely(oops_in_progress)) {
                    local_irq_save(flags);
                    cpm_uart_early_write(pinfo, s, count, true);
                    local_irq_restore(flags);
            } else {
                    spin_lock_irqsave(&pinfo->port.lock, flags);
                    cpm_uart_early_write(pinfo, s, count, true);
                    spin_unlock_irqrestore(&pinfo->port.lock, flags);
            }
