this code is called (it's locked fflush.c:280 before
__sflush_r is called.) It shouldn't be necessary to
re-lock, but due to some unknown bug it is...

/* Even though newlib does stream locking on stdout, we need
a dedicated stdout UART lock...
This is because each task has its own _reent structure with
unique FILEs for stdin/stdout/stderr, so these are
per-thread (lazily initialised by __sinit the first time a
stdio function is used, see findfp.c:235.
It seems like overkill to allocate a FILE-per-task and lock
a thread-local stream, but I see no easy way to fix this
(pre-__sinit_, tasks have "fake" FILEs ie __sf_fake_stdout
which aren't fully valid.)
