serial: 8250: synchronize and annotate UART_IER access

The UART_IER register is modified twice by each console write
(serial8250_console_write()) under the port lock. Any driver code that
accesses UART_IER must do so with the port locked in order to ensure
consistent values, even when for read accesses.

Add locking, lockdep notation, and/or comments everywhere UART_IER is
accessed. The added locking is not fixing a real problem because it
occurs where the console is not active. However, adding the locking
to these non-critical paths greatly simplifies UART_IER access
tracking by establishing a general policy that all UART_IER access
is performed with the port locked.
