Subject: [PATCH] USB: serial: fix race between probe and open

commit a65a6f14dc24a90bde3f5d0073ba2364476200bf upstream.

Fix race between probe and open by making sure that the disconnected
flag is not cleared until all ports have been registered.

A call to tty_open while probe is running may get a reference to the
serial structure in serial_install before its ports have been
registered. This may lead to usb_serial_core calling driver open before
port is fully initialised.

With ftdi_sio this result in the following NULL-pointer dereference as
the private data has not been initialised at open:
