This patch is clearly wrong, since it skips some of the actions that
should be taken by serial_cleanup even if the port is already
disconnected.
Besides, the main point of the patch is to avoid problems when
port = tty->driver_data turns out to be NULL. But the only place where
tty->driver_data is set to NULL is further below in this same function!
So the problems should never arise.
If they do arise, it indicates there's a bug somewhere else. That
other bug can't be fixed by changing this function.
