[PATCH] PREEMPT_RT: USB serial gadget: Fix locking issue

From: Jean-Jacques Hiblot
Date: Thu May 22 2014 - 05:51:00 EST


With CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT_FULL the tty_flip_buffer_push(..) actions are executed
immeditely (same behaviour as if low_latency flag was set). We thus have to
release port_lock before callng tty_flip_buffer_push().

This issue resultst of commits:
44a0c019: USB: g_serial: don't set low_latency flag
dc0cbd1b: serial: 8250: Call flush_to_ldisc when the irq is threaded
