4.3 serial driver crashes with console shortly after boot

Hi,

With 4.3 an x86 server is always crashing roughly a minute after boot
in __uart_start/uart_tx_stopped. This is repeatable over multiple boots.

The back trace is
flush_to_ldisc->n_tty_receive_buf2->n_tty_receive_buf_common->
commit_echoes-> uart_flush_chars->uart_start

It seems to follow a bad pointer here 

ffffffff813bbdfa:       f6 80 f4 01 00 00 01    testb  $0x1,0x1f4(%rax)
<---
ffffffff813bbe01:       74 01                   je     ffffffff813bbe04
<__uart_start.isra.1+0x24>

Unfortunately I don't have the contents of RAX which scrolled away,
but since CR2 is 1f4 I suspect it's NUL.

It seems to depend on the order of the console=... arguments on the
kernel command line. With console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200n8 it
crashes, but when reversing the options it does not crash.
