usb_serial: clean tty reference in the last close

PATCH 1/1 usb_serial: clean tty reference in the last close
When a usb serial adapter is used as console, the usb serial console driver bumps the open_count on the port struct used but doesn't attach a real tty to it (only a fake one temporaly). If this port is opened later using the regular character device interface, the open method won't initialize the port, which is the expected, and will receive a brand new tty struct created by tty layer, which will be stored in port->tty.
When the last close is issued, open_count won't be 0 because of the console usage and the port->tty will still contain the old tty value. This is the last ttyUSB<n> close so the allocated tty will be freed by the tty layer. The usb_serial and usb_serial_port are still in use by the console, so port_free() won't be called (serial_close() -> usb_serial_put() -> destroy_serial() -> port_free()), so the scheduled work (port->work, usb_serial_port_work()) will still run. And usb_serial_port_work() does:
(...)
tty = port->tty;
if (!tty)
return;
tty_wakeup(tty);which causes (manually copied):

This patch avoids this, clearing port->tty considering if the port is used as serial console or not
