serial: core: Keep mctrl register state and cached copy in sync
[ Upstream commit
93a770b7e16772530196674ffc79bb13fa927dc6 ]
struct uart_port contains a cached copy of the Modem Control signals.
It is used to skip register writes in uart_update_mctrl() if the new
signal state equals the old signal state. It also avoids a register
read to obtain the current state of output signals.
When a uart_port is registered, uart_configure_port() changes signal
state but neglects to keep the cached copy in sync. That may cause
a subsequent register write to be incorrectly skipped. Fix it before
it trips somebody up.
This behavior has been present ever since the serial core was introduced
in 2002:

33c0d1b0c3eb
So far it was never an issue because the cached copy is initialized to 0
by kzalloc() and when uart_configure_port() is executed, at most DTR has
been set by uart_set_options() or sunsu_console_setup(). Therefore,
a stable designation seems unnecessary.
