When an USB serial adapter is disconnected and <Enter> is pressed on a connection still open on it (cu, minicom, ...), the kernel crashes. The reason is that the serial port's resources are freed upon disconnect (in serial_hangup()) but the tty device layer is not made aware of that. Hence, the close callback will later access the resources again. Fix that by postponing the resources freeing to the close callback and remove it from the hangup callback.
