commit 902e02ea9385373ce4b142576eef41c642703955 upstream.

Syzkaller reports the following problem:

The problem happens in the following control flow:

gsmld_write(...)
spin_lock_irqsave(&gsm->tx_lock, flags) // taken a spinlock on TX data
 con_write(...)
  do_con_write(...)
   console_lock()
    might_sleep() // -> bug

As far as console_lock() might sleep it should not be called with
spinlock held.

The patch replaces tx_lock spinlock with mutex in order to avoid the
problem.

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with Syzkaller.
