3.2-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Rabin Vincent <[email protected]> commit ef605fdb33883d687cff5ba75095a91b313b4966 upstream. Protect against pl011_console_write() and the interrupt for the console UART running concurrently on different CPUs. Otherwise the console_write could spin for a long time waiting for the UART to become not busy, while the other CPU continuously services UART interrupts and keeps the UART busy. The checks for sysrq and oops_in_progress are taken from 8250.c.
