tty: tty_port: Change the buffer allocator locking

We want to be able to do this without regard for the activate/own open method being used which causes a problem using port->mutex. Add another mutex for now. Once everything uses port_open to do buffer allocs we can kill it back off Signed-off-by: Alan Cox <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <[email protected]>
