USB: serial: fix assumption that throttle/unthrottle cannot sleep
many serial subdrivers are clearly written as if throttle/unthrottle cannot sleep. This leads to unneeded atomic submissions. This patch converts affected drivers in a way to makes very clear that throttle/unthrottle can sleep. Thus future misdesigns can be avoided and efficiency and reliability improved. This removes any such assumption using GFP_KERNEL and spin_lock_irq() Signed-off-by: Oliver Neukum <oliver@neukum.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
