LDISCs shouldn't call tty->ops->write() from within
->write_wakeup().

->write_wakeup() is called with port lock taken and
IRQs disabled, tty->ops->write() will try to acquire
the same port lock and we will deadlock.

Tested-by: Andreas Bießmann <andreas@biessmann.de>

on custom TI AM37xx board with 3.4.87. Therefore I vote for adding this to
stable branches (at least 3.4). It applies with a slight line shifting
(init_work is not available there).

I wonder if you have seen my approach [1] to fix this deadlock.  This stuff is
quiet new to me. As I understood the work_queue has a bit more overhead than a
tasklet. Therefore I implemented my fix with a tasklet. Would be great if one
could shed some light on that.

Best regards

Andreas Bießmann
