The locking is needed, since the the internal buffer for the CAN frames is
changed during the wakeup call. This could cause buffer inconsistencies
under high loads, especially for the outgoing short CAN packet skbuffs.
The needed locks led to deadlocks before commit
"5ede52538ee2b2202d9dff5b06c33bfde421e6e4 tty: Remove extra wakeup from pty
write() path", which removed the direct callback to the wakeup function from the
tty layer.
As slcan.c is based on slip.c the issue in the original code is fixed, too.

Adding casts of objects to the same type is unnecessary
and confusing for a human reader.
For example, this cast:
int y;
int *p = (int *)&y;
I used the coccinelle script below to find and remove these
unnecessary casts. I manually removed the conversions this
script produces of casts with __force, __iomem and __user.
@@
type T;
T *p;
@@
- (T *)p
+ p

alloc failures use dump_stack so emitting an additional
out-of-memory message is an unnecessary duplication.
Remove the allocation failure messages.
