Avoid locking in hard interrupt context, move the stm32_usart_transmit_chars()
into the threaded IRQ handler. This fixes the following splat with preempt-rt:

Why is this handler running as the primary handler to begin with?
There is
 stm32_usart_rs485_rts_disable() 
 -> mctrl_gpio_set()
    -> gpiod_set_array_value()
       -> gpiod_set_array_value_complex()
         -> gpio_chip_set_multiple()
	    -> gc->set_multiple() || gc->set() ?
         -> bitmap_alloc() boom

I don't know if the underlying gpiod is always using a raw_spinlock_t
but that bitmap_alloc() (depending on FASTPATH_NGPIO()) is not going to
work.
pm_wakeup_dev_event() is also using a spinlock_t.

Before that, there is a "stm32_port->throttled" check using the very
same lock.

Is the suggestion therefore to completely remove the hard IRQ handler 
and move everything into the threaded IRQ handler ?

Are there any drawbacks of doing that to a serial port driver ?

Commit
	3489187204eb7 ("serial: stm32: adding dma support")

added the threaded mode with DMA support. It didn't say _why_ this is
needed. So I would suggest to use request_irq() and merge the two
handler. The part where it ignores the IRQ handler in the
"stm32_port->throttled" case isn't nice since it returns IRQ_HANDLED
while doing nothing.

> Are there any drawbacks of doing that to a serial port driver ?
The threaded handler runs with disabled interrupts (due to irq-save
lock) so there shouldn't be any visible difference other than the thread
is gone. I'm not sure what the benefit here actually is.
With `threadirqs' and so on PREEMPT_RT the whole routine will be moved
in the thread (as it should).

Looking at drivers/tty/serial/, the stm32-usart is the only one
requesting threaded-interrupts with a primary handler. So I guess it was
not needed to begin with.
