tty: serial: 8250: omap: synchronize rx_running
The rx_running flag should show if DMA is currently active. However there is a window between when the flag is set/cleared and when the DMA is started/stopped. Because the flag is queried from both hard and soft irq contexts, the driver can make incorrect decisions and do things like start a DMA transfer using a buffer that is already setup to be used for a DMA transfer. This patch adds a spinlock to synchronize the rx_running flag and close the above mentioned window.
