When DMA is enabled the receive handler runs in a threaded handler, but
the primary handler up until very recently neither disabled interrupts
in the device or used IRQF_ONESHOT. This would lead to a deadlock if an
interrupt comes in while the threaded receive handler is running under
the port lock.

Commit ad7676812437 ("serial: stm32: fix a deadlock condition with
wakeup event") claimed to fix an unrelated deadlock, but unfortunately
also disabled interrupts in the threaded handler. While this prevents
the deadlock mentioned in the previous paragraph it also defeats the
purpose of using a threaded handler in the first place.

Fix this by making the interrupt one-shot and not disabling interrupts
in the threaded handler.

Note that (receive) DMA must not be used for a console port as the
threaded handler could be interrupted while holding the port lock,
something which could lead to a deadlock in case an interrupt handler
ends up calling printk.

Scratch the "up until very recently" bit here since the driver still
doesn't disable interrupt in the device (it just disables all interrupts
in the threaded handler). The rest stands as is.
