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_unlock_and_check_sysrq() to drop the lock prior to 
uart_handle_sysrq_char().

Changes since v1:
- I noticed that when sending break + t via the terminal, the characters
were sometimes lost. Do the minimal changes to fix the deadlock without
missing the sysrq input.
