Fix open error handling which failed to detect errors when reading the MSR and LSR registers, something which could lead to the shadow registers being initialised from errnos. Note that calling the generic close implementation is sufficient in the error paths as the interrupt urb has not yet been submitted and the register updates have not been made.
