usb serial: pl2303 driver TxD "break" stays after close() bug

[Jari Ruusu]

Tested on 3.10.67 and 3.18.5 kernels with ATEN UC-232A usb-serial adapter.
No patch, sorry. To actually see the stuck "break" signal on TxD line, you
need either some sort of LED or voltmeter connected to the data transmit
line. Other RS-232 serial ports that I have access to (normal PC hardware
serial ports and FTDI usb-serial adapters) do not have this bug.
