fix spinlock recursion in hvc_console
commit 611e097d7707741a336a0677d9d69bec40f29f3d
Author: Christian Borntraeger <borntraeger@de.ibm.com>
hvc_console: rework setup to replace irq functions with callbacks
introduced a spinlock recursion problem.
request_irq tries to call the handler if the IRQ is shared.
The irq handler of hvc_console calls hvc_poll and hvc_kill
which might take the hvc_struct spinlock. Therefore, we have
to call request_irq outside the spinlock.
We can move the notifier_add safely outside the spinlock as ->data must
not be changed by the backend. Otherwise, tty_hangup would fail anyway.
