The following sysrq command causes the following deadlock:
# echo t > /proc/sysrq-trigger
....

This problem happens because uart_handle_sysrq_char() is called
with the lock held.
Fix this by using the same approach done in commit 5697df7322fe ("serial:
fsl_lpuart: split sysrq handling"), which calls uart_prepare_sysrq_char()
and uart_unlock_and_check_sysrq() instead.
Its commit log says:
"Instead of uart_handle_sysrq_char() use uart_prepare_sysrq_char() and
uart_unlock_and_check_sysrq(). This will call handle_sysrq() without
holding the port lock, which in turn let us drop the spin_trylock hack."
Do the same here to fix the deadlock.
