[SERIAL] Locking fixup (part 1)
After the last few days of debugging, we've ended up with the caller of the start_tx and stop_tx methods taking the per-port lock. This cset and the accompanying csets make the same change to some of the other methods for consistency reasons. Since these methods don't contain a lot of code, it is better that they have consistent locking rules. This cset fixes up the stop_rx method.
