pl011_tx_softirq() currently uses spin_{,un}lock(), which are not
sufficient to inhibit pl011_int() from being triggered by a local
IRQ and trying to re-take the same lock. This can lead to
deadlocks.
This patch uses the _irq() locking variants instead to ensure that
pl011_int() handling for a given port is deferred until any
pl011_tx_softirq() work for that port is complete.
