Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] tty: serial: 8250_core: Check that port->line is >=0

Add one more checking condition which was originally added by:
"tty: serial: 8250_core: use the ->line argument as a hint in
serial8250_find_match_or_unused()"
(sha1: 59b3e898ddfc81a65975043b5eb44103cc29ff6e)

port->line can be setup by DT driver to -1 which needs to
be also checked.

Changes in v2:
- Change commit message description
- Do not sign patches - Greg reported problem with it

I have similar patch to 59b3e898ddfc81a65975043b5eb44103cc29ff6e
in xilinx tree for a while and port->line can be -1.

The second part of this also should be (what other drivers do)
reading aliases via of_alias_get_id() in of_serial.c:of_platform_serial_probe()
which setup port.line.
