u_data_hsuart: Fix high-watermark race condition
If multiple packets are written quickly and the high watermark is
exceeded, then the -EAGAIN return code is returned (A), the return code
is checked and the tx processing is throttled (B) until a low-watermark
notification is received (C). If the packet queue is drained and the
low-watermark notification is delivered between steps (A) and (B), then
the order of events will be ACB and the tx queue will be permanently
stalled.
To fix this, a spinlock is held to ensure that the sequence is always
ABC.
