This is a followup on 44117a1d1732 ("serial: core: mark port as initialized after successful IRQ change"). Nikola has been using autoconfig via setserial and reported a crash similar to what I fixed in the earlier mentioned commit. Here I do the same fixup for the autoconfig. I wasn't sure that this is the right approach. Nikola confirmed that it fixes his crash.
