USB: serial: fix assumption that throttle/unthrottle cannot sleep

Browse Source 
many serial subdrivers are clearly written as if throttle/unthrottle
cannot sleep. This leads to unneeded atomic submissions. This
patch converts affected drivers in a way to makes very clear that
throttle/unthrottle can sleep. Thus future misdesigns can be avoided
and efficiency and reliability improved.

This removes any such assumption using GFP_KERNEL and spin_lock_irq()
