8250: Fix tcsetattr to avoid ioctl(TIOCMIWAIT) hang
Calling tcsetattr prevents any thread(s) currently suspended in ioctl
TIOCMIWAIT for the same device from ever resuming.
If a thread is suspended inside a call to ioctl TIOCMIWAIT, waiting for
a modem status change, then the 8250 driver enables modem status
interrupts (MSI). The device interrupt service routine resumes the
suspended thread(s) on the next MSI.
If while the thread(s) are suspended, another thread calls tcsetattr
then the 8250 driver disables MSI (unless CTS/RTS handshaking is
enabled) thus preventing the suspended thread(s) from ever being
resumed.
This patch only disables MSI in tcsetattr handling if there are no
suspended threads.
