      introduced a potential NULL dereference to some drivers. In
      particular, when the device is used as a console, incoming bytes can
      kill the box. This is caused by removed checks for TTY against NULL.
      
      It happened because it was unclear to me why the checks were there. I
      assumed them superfluous because the interrupts were unbound or
      otherwise stopped. But this is not the case for consoles for these
      drivers, as was pointed out by David Miller.
      
      Now, this patch re-introduces the checks (at this point we check
      port->state, not the tty proper, as we do not care about tty pointers
      anymore). For both of the drivers, we place the check below the
      handling of break signal so that sysrq can actually work. (One needs
      to issue a break and then sysrq key within the following 5 seconds.)
      
      We do not change sc26xx, sunhv, and sunsu here because they behave the
      same as before.  People having that hardware should fix the driver
      eventually, however. They always could unconditionally dereference tty
      in receive_chars, port->state in uart_handle_dcd_change, and
      up->port.state->port.tty.
      
      There is perhaps more to fix in all those drivers, but they are at
      least in a state they were before.
