[PATCH] USB: usbserial: race-condition fix.
There is a race-condition in usb-serial driver that can be triggered if
a processes does 'port->tty->driver_data = NULL' in serial_close() while
other processes is in kernel-space about to call serial_ioctl() on the
same port.
This happens because a process can open the device while there is
another one closing it.
The patch below fixes that by adding a semaphore to ensure that no
process will open the device while another process is closing it.
Note that we can't use spinlocks here, since serial_open() and
serial_close() can sleep.
