USB: fix usb-serial generic recursive lock
Nobody should be using the generic usb-serial for anything other than
testing. Still, it's not a good thing that it's easy to lock up. There
is a traceback from NMI oopser here:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=431379
But in short, if a line discipline has a chance to echo anything, input
can loop back a write method. So, don't call tty_flip_buffer_push from
under a lock taken on write path.
