[PATCH] uml: console locking fixes
Clean up the console driver locking. There are various problems here,
including sleeping under a spinlock and spinlock recursion, some of which are
fixed here. This patch deals with the locking involved with opens and closes.
The problem is that an mconsole request to change a console's configuration
can race with an open. Changing a configuration should only be done when a
console isn't opened. Also, an open must be looking at a stable
configuration. In addition, a get configuration request must observe the same
locking since it must also see a stable configuration. With the old locking,
it was possible for this to hang indefinitely in some cases because open would
block for a long time waiting for a connection from the host while holding the
lock needed by the mconsole request.
As explained in the long comment, this is fixed by adding a spinlock for the
use count and configuration and a mutex for the actual open and close.
