Subject: 8250: fix possible deadlock between serial8250_handle_port() and
 serial8250_interrupt()

Commit 40b36daa introduced possibility that serial8250_backup_timeout() ->
serial8250_handle_port() locks port.lock without disabling irqs, thus
allowing deadlock against interrupt handler (port.lock is acquired in
serial8250_interrupt()).

Spotted by lockdep.
