Subject: USB: serial: cp210x: fix tiocmget error handling

From: Johan Hovold <[email protected]>

commit de24e0a108bc48062e1c7acaa97014bce32a919f upstream.

The current tiocmget implementation would fail to report errors up the stack and instead leaked a few bits from the stack as a mask of modem-status flags.
