[RFC PATCH] usb_wwan : add locking around shared port data in two FIXME-marked places

[Abinash Singh]

Fix two locking-related FIXME comments by adding a mutex
 to protect shared fields in `usb_wwan_port_private`.

- In `usb_wwan_dtr_rts()`, access to `rts_state`
and `dtr_state` is now protected by `portdata->lock`.
- In `usb_wwan_tiocmset()`, access to `rts_state`
 and `dtr_state` is now also synchronized with the same mutex.

These changes prevent possible data races
and inconsistent state updates when the port is written concurrently.

usb_wwan_chars_in_buffer() have this:
/* FIXME: This locking is insufficient as this_urb may
		   go unused during the test */
How can we do proper locking there ?
Do we need to lock portdata in other places also ? I see no other FIXME related to locking

Thank You

Regards

Abinash
