drivers/char/esp.c: fix bootup lockup



randconfig testing found a bootup lockup in drivers/char/esp.c because
of a spinlock that wasn't correctly initialized.

I'm not sure why it became more prominent in 2.6.25-rc4, the bug seems
rather old and i've been doing allyesconfig bootups for ages with
CONFIG_ESP enabled.

This fixes this bootup lockup:

 PM: Adding info for No Bus:ttyP63
 ttyP32 at 0x0240 (irq = 0) is an ESP primary port

  =======================

kzalloc() is not the way to initialize spinlocks anymore.
