Fix a potential issue in mpc52xx uart driver

mpc52xx_uart_int and __uart_put_char both try to acquire the
port->lock. Therefore the function sequence of:

mpc52xx_uart_int--> ...-->flush_to_ldisc-->...-->__uart_put_char

can potentially trigger a deadlock. To avoid this deadlock a fix similar to that found in the 8250.c serial driver is applied. The deadlock is avoided by releasing the lock before pushing a buffer and reacquiring it when completed.
