DataSourceSmartOS: add locking of serial device.
cloud-init and mdata-get each have their own implementation of the SmartOS metadata protocol. If cloud-init and other services that call mdata-get are run concurrently, crosstalk on the serial port can cause them both to become confused. This change makes it so that cloud-init uses the same cooperative locking scheme that's used by mdata-get, thus preventing cross-talk between mdata-get and cloud-init. For testing, a VM running on a SmartOS host and pyserial are required. If the tests are run on a platform other than SmartOS, those that use a real serial port are skipped. pyserial remains commented in requirements.txt because most testers will not be running atop SmartOS. LP: #1746605
