[PATCH 32/40] USB: usbserial - fix potential deadlock between write() and IRQ

From: Jiri Kosina <[email protected]>

USB: usbserial - fix potential deadlock between write() and IRQ

usb_serial_generic_write() doesn't disable interrupts when taking port->lock,
and could therefore deadlock with usb_serial_generic_read_bulk_callback()
being called from interrupt, taking the same lock. Fix it.
