serial: Fix locking for uart driver set_termios() method
The low-level uart driver may modify termios settings to override settings that are not compatible with the uart, such as CRTSCTS. Thus, callers of the low-level uart driver's set_termios() method must hold termios_rwsem write lock to prevent concurrent access to termios, in case such override occurs. The termios_rwsem lock requirement does not extend to console setup (ie., uart_set_options), as console setup cannot race with tty operations. Nor does this lock requirement extend to functions which cannot be concurrent with tty ioctls (ie., uart_port_startup() and uart_resume_port()). Further, always claim the port mutex to protect hardware re-reprogramming in the set_termios() uart driver method. Note this is unnecessary for console initialization in uart_set_options() which cannot be concurrent with other uart operations.
