[ 026/149] USB: serial: fix console error reporting

[Greg KH]

3.2-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Johan Hovold <jhovold@xxxxxxxxx>

commit 548dd4b6da8a8e428453d55f7fa7b8a46498d147 upstream.

Do not report errors in write path if port is used as a console as this
may trigger the same error (and error report) resulting in a loop.
