serial: kgdboc: Fix NMI-safety problems from keyboard reset code
commit b2aba15ad6f908d1a620fd97f6af5620c3639742 upstream.
Currently, when kdb is compiled with keyboard support, then we will use
schedule_work() to provoke reset of the keyboard status. Unfortunately
schedule_work() gets called from the kgdboc post-debug-exception
handler. That risks deadlock since schedule_work() is not NMI-safe and,
even on platforms where the NMI is not directly used for debugging, the
debug trap can have NMI-like behaviour depending on where breakpoints
are placed.
Fix this by using the irq work system, which is NMI-safe, to defer the
call to schedule_work() to a point when it is safe to call.
