tty: serial: imx: fix potential deadlock

Browse source

Enabling the lock dependency validator has revealed
that the way spinlocks are used in the IMX serial
port could result in a deadlock.

Specifically, imx_uart_int() acquires a spinlock
without disabling the interrupts, meaning that another
interrupt could come along and try to acquire the same
spinlock, potentially causing the two to wait for each
other indefinitely.

Use spin_lock_irqsave() instead to disable interrupts
upon acquisition of the spinlock.
