startup()/shutdown() callbacks access SIFIVE_SERIAL_IE_OFFS.
The register is also accessed from write() callback.

If console were printing and startup()/shutdown() callback
gets called, its access to the register could be overwritten.

Add port->lock to startup()/shutdown() callbacks to make sure
their access to SIFIVE_SERIAL_IE_OFFS is synchronized against
write() callback.

Fixes: 45c054d0815b ("tty: serial: add driver for the SiFive UART")

This patch used be part of a series for converting sifive driver to
nbcon[0]. It's now sent seperatly as the rest of the series does not
need be applied to the stable branch.

Sincerely,
Ryo Takakura

I do not have the hardware around so I could not test it.
But the change make sense. It fixes a real race.
And the code looks reasonable:
