serial: replace open coded mutex with a real mutex in mrst_max3110.c

Browse Source 
The mrst_max3110.c driver uses an open coded, non atomic variable
to create exclusion between two of its worker threads. More than that,
while the main thread does a proper set-work-clear sequence,
the other thread only does a test, with the result that no actual
exclusion is happening.

this patch replaces this open coded variable with a proper mutex

in addition, the 'lock' spinlock is removed from the per adapter structure,
the lock was only ever initialized but never used
