USB: serial: fix race between probe and open
Fix race between probe and open by making sure that the disconnected
flag is not cleared until all ports have been registered.
A call to tty_open while probe is running may get a reference to the
serial structure in serial_install before its ports have been
registered. This may lead to usb_serial_core calling driver open before
port is fully initialised.
With ftdi_sio this result in the following NULL-pointer dereference as
the private data has not been initialised at open:
