serial: kgdboc: Fix NMI-safety problems from keyboard reset code

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.

/*
* When we leave the debug trap handler we need to reset the keyboard status
* (since the original keyboard state gets partially clobbered by kdb use of
* the keyboard).
*
* The path to deliver the reset is somewhat circuitous.
*
* To deliver the reset we register an input handler, reset the keyboard and
* then deregister the input handler. However, to get this done right, we do
* have to carefully manage the calling context because we can only register
* input handlers from task context.
*
* In particular we need to trigger the action from the debug trap handler with
* all its NMI and/or NMI-like oddities. To solve this the kgdboc trap exit code
* (the "post_exception" callback) uses irq_work_queue(), which is NMI-safe, to
* schedule a callback from a hardirq context. From there we have to defer the
* work again, this time using schedule_work(), to get a callback using the
* system workqueue, which runs in task context.
