serial_core: Check for port state when tty is in error state
At the moment opening a serial device node (such as /dev/ttyS3) succeeds even if there is no actual serial device behind it. Reading/writing/ioctls fail as expected because the uart port is not initialized (the type is PORT_UNKNOWN) and the TTY_IO_ERROR error state bit is set fot the tty. However setting line discipline does not have these checks 8250_port.c (8250 is the default choice made by univ8250_console_init()). As the result of PORT_UNKNOWN, uart_port::iobase is NULL which a platform translates onto some address accessing which produces a crash like below. This adds tty_port_initialized() to uart_set_ldisc() to prevent the crash. Found by syzkaller.
