Samir Virmani 25c75e9a85 uart: Fix crash in uart_write and uart_put_char
commit aff9cf5955 upstream.

We were experiencing a crash similar to the one reported as part of
commit:a5ba1d95e46e ("uart: fix race between uart_put_char() and
uart_shutdown()") in our testbed as well. We continue to observe the same
crash after integrating the commit a5ba1d95e4 ("uart: fix race between
uart_put_char() and uart_shutdown()")

On reviewing the change, the port lock should be taken prior to checking for
if (!circ->buf) in fn. __uart_put_char and other fns. that update the buffer
uart_state->xmit.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
