Tomas Melin b86f86e8e7 serial: 8250: fix potential deadlock in rs485-mode
Canceling hrtimer when holding uart spinlock can deadlock.

CPU0: syscall write
          -> get uart port spinlock
              -> write uart
                  -> start_tx_rs485
                      -> hrtimer_cancel
                          -> wait for hrtimer callback to finish

CPU1: hrtimer IRQ
          -> run hrtimer
              -> em485_handle_stop_tx
                  -> get uart port spinlock

CPU0 is waiting for the hrtimer callback to finish, but the hrtimer
callback running on CPU1 is waiting to get the uart port spinlock.

This deadlock can be avoided by not canceling the hrtimers in these paths.
Setting active_timer=NULL can be done without accessing hrtimer,
and that will effectively cancel operations that would otherwise have been
performed by the hrtimer callback.

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
