pch_uart: fix a deadlock when pch_uart as console
When we use pch_uart as system console like 'console=ttyPCH0,115200', then 'send break' to it. We'll encounter the deadlock on a cpu/core, with interrupts disabled on the core. When we happen to have all irqs affinity to cpu0 then the deadlock on cpu0 actually deadlock whole system. In pch_uart_interrupt, we have spin_lock_irqsave(&priv->lock, flags) then call pch_uart_err_ir when break is received. Then the call to dev_err would actually call to pch_console_write then we'll run into another spin_lock(&priv->lock), with interrupts disabled. So in the call sequence lead by pch_uart_interrupt, we should be carefully to call functions that will 'print message to console' only in case the uart port is not being used as serial console.
