Subject: slcan: Port write_wakeup deadlock fix from slip
From: Tyler Hall <tylerwhall@xxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit a8e83b17536aad603fbeae4c460f2da0ee9fe6ed ]
The commit "slip: Fix deadlock in write_wakeup" fixes a deadlock caused
by a change made in both slcan and slip. This is a direct port of that
fix.
