[SERIAL] initialize spinlock for port failed to setup console

It seems serial_core intend to initialize port->lock just once for each
ports.  This is done in uart_set_options() for console, and in
uart_add_one_port() for other ports.  But there is a case the port->lock is
not initialized by serial_core.  If the setup function for the console was
failed, it will not call uart_set_options() but the port is marked as
console (uart_console(port) returns 1).  It can happen if console was PCI
port which can not detected at the time of register_console.

This patch is to initialize port->lock for such console port.  With this
change, most of spin_lock_init() (some of them are labeled "Temporary
fix.") in low-level serial drivers can be omitted.
