[PATCH] fix early_serial_setup() regression

commit b430428a188e8a434325e251d0704af4b88b4711,
"8250: Don't clobber spinlocks."
introduced a regression on the parisc architecture, which
broke the handover to the serial port at boottime.

early_serial_setup() was changed to only copy a subset of the
uart_port fields, and sadly the "type" and "line" fields
were forgotten and thus the serial port was not initialized
and could not be used for a handover.
This patch fixes this by copying the missing fields.

As this change to early_serial_setup() doesn't need an
initialized spinlock in the uart_port struct any longer, we
can drop the spinlock initialization in the superio driver.
