tty: hvc: Fix data abort due to race in hvc_open

BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1885932

[ Upstream commit e2bd1dcb ]

Potentially, hvc_open() can be called in parallel when two tasks calls
open() on /dev/hvcX. In such a scenario, if the hp->ops->notifier_add()
callback in the function fails, where it sets the tty->driver_data to
NULL, the parallel hvc_open() can see this NULL and cause a memory abort.
Hence, serialize hvc_open and check if tty->private_data is NULL before
proceeding ahead.

The issue can be easily reproduced by launching two tasks simultaneously
that does nothing but open() and close() on /dev/hvcX.
For example:
$ ./simple_open_close /dev/hvc0 & ./simple_open_close /dev/hvc0 &
