[PATCH 7/8] serial: core: Prevent unsafe uart port access, part 2

From: Peter Hurley
Date: Sat Dec 12 2015 - 19:37:10 EST


For tty operations which may expect uart port to have been removed
but still have other necessary work to accomplish, check for NULL
uart port; specifically uart_close(), uart_hangup() and sub-functions
(uart_shutdown(), uart_port_shutdown() and uart_wait_until_sent()).

Split uart_wait_until_sent() into the original tty operation (which
now must claim the port->mutex) and __uart_wait_until_sent() (which
performs the timeout computations and waits); the port->mutex is
released during the sleep and the uart port ptr is reloaded after
wakeup.
