USB: serial: fix null-pointer dereferences on disconnect
Make sure serial-driver dtr_rts is called with disc_mutex held after checking the disconnected flag. Due to a bug in the tty layer, dtr_rts may get called after a device has been disconnected and the tty-device unregistered. Some drivers have had individual checks for disconnect to make sure the disconnected interface was not accessed, but this should really be handled in usb-serial core (at least until the long-standing tty-bug has been fixed). Note that the problem has been made more acute with commit 0998d0631001 ("device-core: Ensure drvdata = NULL when no driver is bound") as the port data is now also NULL when dtr_rts is called resulting in further oopses.
