USB: console: fix kernel crash on stty -a < /dev/ttyUSB0
* Boot with the kernel argument console=ttyUSB0,9600 * Run: stty -a < /dev/ttyUSB0 * Immediately you get an oops warning, which later leads to a hard kernel crash The commit 335f8514 created the original regression and commit 6e406121 only fixed part of the problem. Only protect the serial->type->open() from getting executed when the device is used as a console. The wider scope of the console protection added in 6e406121 causes the logic in serial_open() to fall through and zero out the port->port.count with the stty sys call. Once the port.count is zeroed the HW will get closed while other drivers still have call backs to a non-initialized device which crashes the kernel.
