This commit fixes the potential deadlock caused by the console Rx and Tx processing at the same time. Rx and Tx both take the console and tmfifo spinlock but in different order which causes potential deadlock. The fix is to use different tmfifo spinlock for Rx and Tx since they protect different resources.
Below is the reported call trace when copying/pasting large string in the console.
