Arjan van de Ven d6e679b474 serial: fix wakup races in the mrst_max3110 driver
The mrst_max3110 driver had a set of unsafe wakeup sequences
along the following line:

if (!atomic_read(&foo)) {
  atomic_set(&foo, 1);
  wake_up(worker_thread);
}
and the worker thread would do

if (atomic_read(&foo)) {
  do_work();
  atomic_set(&foo, 0);
}

which can result in various missed wakups due to test-then-set races,
as well as due to clear-after-work instead of clear-before-work.

This patch fixes these races by using the proper bit test-and-set operations,
and by doing clear-before-work.
