Samir Virmani aff9cf5955 uart: Fix crash in uart_write and uart_put_char
We were experiencing a crash similar to the one reported as part of
commit:a5ba1d95e46e ("uart: fix race between uart_put_char() and
uart_shutdown()") in our testbed as well. We continue to observe the same
crash after integrating the commit a5ba1d95e4 ("uart: fix race between
uart_put_char() and uart_shutdown()")

On reviewing the change, the port lock should be taken prior to checking for
if (!circ->buf) in fn. __uart_put_char and other fns. that update the buffer
uart_state->xmit.

Traceback:
