My kthread calls serial8250_suspend_port/serial8250_resume_port when the
system is booting, it triggers a BUG_ON:

BUG: failure at 
drivers/tty/serial/8250/8250_core.c:1852/serial_unlink_irq_chain()!
Kernel panic - not syncing: BUG!

I found port->flags is used without lock in tty_port_block_til_ready(). The 
flags
will be overwritten with old value after it updates in uart_suspend_port().
                CPU A                           CPU B
        in uart_suspend_port            in tty_port_block_til_ready
                                        get port->flags
        clear ASYNCB_INITIALIZED
                                        set port->flags
The flags still has ASYNCB_INITIALIZED. When uart_suspend_port is called next 
time,
it trriggers the BUG_ON. So use set_bit/clear_bit to avoid the flags being 
overwritten.
