Subject: serdev: ttyport: fix tty locking in close

From: Johan Hovold <[email protected]>

commit 90dbad8cd6efccbdce109d5ef0724f8434a6cdde upstream.

Make sure to hold the tty lock as required when calling tty-driver close() (e.g. to avoid racing with hangup()).

Note that the serport active flag is currently set under the lock at controller open, but really isn't protected by it.
