serial: Reduce spinlocked portion of uart_rs485_config()

Commit 44b27aec ("serial: core, 8250: set RS485 termination GPIO in
serial core") enabled support for RS485 termination GPIOs behind i2c
expanders by setting the GPIO outside of the critical section protected
by the port spinlock.  Access to the i2c expander may sleep, which
caused a splat with the port spinlock held.

Commit 7c7f9bc9 ("serial: Deassert Transmit Enable on probe in
driver-specific way") erroneously regressed that by spinlocking the
GPIO manipulation again.

Fix by moving uart_rs485_config() (the function manipulating the GPIO)
outside of the spinlocked section and acquiring the spinlock inside of
uart_rs485_config() for the invocation of ->rs485_config() only.

This gets us one step closer to pushing the spinlock down into the
->rs485_config() callbacks which actually need it.  (Some callbacks
do not want to be spinlocked because they perform sleepable register
accesses, see e.g. sc16is7xx_config_rs485().)

Stack trace for posterity:
