Johan Hovold 272c6a678e USB: serial: digi_acceleport: fix write-wakeup deadlocks
commit 5098e77962 upstream.

The driver must not call tty_wakeup() while holding its private lock as
line disciplines are allowed to call back into write() from
write_wakeup(), leading to a deadlock.

Also remove the unneeded work struct that was used to defer wakeup in
order to work around a possible race in ancient times (see comment about
n_tty write_chan() in commit 14b54e39b4 ("USB: serial: remove
changelogs and old todo entries")).

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
