USB serial: update the console driver
This patch (as1292) modifies the USB serial console driver, to make it compatible with the recent changes to the USB serial core. The most important change is that serial->disc_mutex now has to be unlocked following a successful call to usb_serial_get_by_index(). Other less notable changes include: Use the requested port number instead of port 0 always. Prevent the serial device from being autosuspended. Use the ASYNCB_INITIALIZED flag bit to indicate when the port hardware has been initialized. In spite of these changes, there's no question that the USB serial console code is still a big hack.
