Subject[PATCH] tty: serial_core: Fix uart_state refcnt leak when the port startup
Date
uart_port_startup() invokes uart_port_lock(), which returns a reference
of the uart_port object if increases the refcount of the uart_state
object successfully or returns NULL if fails.

However, uart_port_startup() don't take the return value of
uart_port_lock() as the new uart_port object to "uport" and use the old
"uport" instead to balance refcount in uart_port_unlock(), which may
cause a redundant decrement of refcount occurred when the new "uport"
equals to NULL and then cause a potential memory leak.

Fix this issue by update the "uport" object to the return value of
uart_port_lock() when invoking uart_port_lock().
