3.16.82-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Michał Mirosław <mirq-linux@xxxxxxxxxxxx> commit daf82bd24e308c5a83758047aff1bd81edda4f11 upstream. gserial_alloc_line() misses locking (for a release barrier) while resetting port entry on TTY allocation failure. Fix this.
