The RX lock is used to protect the RX buffer from concurrent access in DMA
mode between the timer and RX interrupt routines. It is independent from
the uart lock which is used to protect the TX buffer. It is possible for
a uart TX transfer to be started up from the RX interrupt handler if low
latency is enabled. So we need to split the locks to avoid deadlocking in
this situation.
In PIO mode, the RX lock is not necessary because the handle_simple_irq
and handle_level_irq functions ensure driver interrupt handlers are called
once on one core.
And now that the RX path has its own lock, the TX interrupt has nothing to
do with the RX path, so disabling it at the same time.

Commit 0587102cf9 replaced a direct
implementation of SIOCGICOUNT with an implementation of
tty_operations::get_icount, but it did not actually set
rs_360_ops.get_icount.

tty/serial: fix apbuart build
n_hdlc: fix read and write locking
serial: unbreak billionton CF card
tty: use for_each_console() and WARN() on sysfs failures
vt: fix issue when fbcon wants to takeover a second time.
Fix up trivial conflict in drivers/tty/tty_io.c
The -rt patches change the console_semaphore to console_mutex. As a
result, a quite large chunk of the patches changes all
acquire/release_console_sem() to acquire/release_console_mutex()
This commit makes things use more neutral function names which dont make
implications about the underlying lock.
The only real change is the return value of console_trylock which is
inverted from try_acquire_console_sem()
This patch also paves the way to switching console_sem from a semaphore to
a mutex.

tty: update MAINTAINERS file due to driver movement
tty: move drivers/serial/ to drivers/tty/serial/
tty: move hvc drivers to drivers/tty/hvc/
The serial drivers are really just tty drivers, so move them to
drivers/tty/ to make things a bit neater overall.
This is part of the tty/serial driver movement proceedure as proposed by
Arnd Bergmann and approved by everyone involved a number of months ago.
