tty: Fix a USB serial crash/scribble
The port lock is used to protect the port state. However the port structure
is freed on a hangup, then the lock taken on a close. The right fix is to
drop the port on tty->shutdown() but we can't yet do that due to sleep v
non-sleeping rules. Instead do the next best thing and fix it up when we are
not in -rc season.
