serial: kgdboc: Fix NMI-safety problems from keyboard reset code
Currently, when kdb is compiled with keyboard support, then we will use schedule_work() to provoke reset of the keyboard status. Unfortunately schedule_work() gets called from the kgdboc post-debug-exception handler. That risks deadlock since schedule_work() is not NMI-safe and, even on platforms where the NMI is not directly used for debugging, the debug trap can have NMI-like behaviour depending on where breakpoints are placed. Fix this by using the irq work system, which is NMI-safe, to defer the call to schedule_work() to a point when it is safe to call.
