Jacques Nilo c3cce2e67b serial: core: introduce guard(uart_port_lock_check_sysrq_irqsave)
uart_handle_break() and uart_prepare_sysrq_char() (in
include/linux/serial_core.h) capture a SysRq character into
port->sysrq_ch while the port lock is held and rely on the unlock
helper -- uart_unlock_and_check_sysrq_irqrestore() -- to dispatch the
captured character to handle_sysrq() on scope exit.

The existing guard(uart_port_lock_irqsave) cannot be used by IRQ
handlers that process RX, because its destructor calls plain
uart_port_unlock_irqrestore() and silently drops port->sysrq_ch.

Add a dedicated guard(uart_port_lock_check_sysrq_irqsave) variant
whose destructor is the sysrq-aware unlock helper. The lock side is
identical to uart_port_lock_irqsave -- only the unlock-time behaviour
differs. Callers that may capture SysRq characters must use
guard(uart_port_lock_check_sysrq_irqsave); the existing
guard(uart_port_lock_irqsave) keeps its current plain-unlock semantics
for the many callers that do not process RX.

The new macro is placed after the CONFIG_MAGIC_SYSRQ_SERIAL block so
both definitions of uart_unlock_and_check_sysrq_irqrestore() (sysrq
enabled and disabled) are visible at expansion time. When
CONFIG_MAGIC_SYSRQ_SERIAL=n the destructor degenerates to plain
uart_port_unlock_irqrestore(), so there is no overhead.

No functional change on its own; users are converted in the following
patches.
