serial: 8250: drop lockdep annotation from serial8250_clear_IER()



The port lock is not always held when calling serial8250_clear_IER().
When an oops is in progress, the lock is tried to be taken and when it
is not, a warning is issued:
 WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 1 at drivers/tty/serial/8250/8250_port.c:707 	+0x57/0x60

Therefore, remove the annotation as it doesn't hold for all invocations.

The other option would be to make the lockdep test conditional on
'oops_in_progress' or pass 'locked' from serial8250_console_write(). I
don't think, that is worth it.
