Subject: [PATCH 07/13] serial: stm32: fix a deadlock in set_termios

CTS/RTS GPIOs support that has been added recently to STM32 UART driver has
introduced scheduled code in a set_termios part protected by a spin lock.
This generates a potential deadlock scenario:

Chain exists of:
&irq_desc_lock_class --> console_owner --> &port_lock_key

Possible unsafe locking scenario:

CPU0 CPU1
---- ----
lock(&port_lock_key);
lock(console_owner);
lock(&port_lock_key);
lock(&irq_desc_lock_class);

*** DEADLOCK ***
4 locks held by stty/766:

Move the scheduled code after the spinlock.
