Subject: [PATCH] tty: serial: fsl_lpuart: potential NULL dereference

tty_port_tty_get() might return a tty which is NULL
if the port is not associated with a tty
(e.g. due to close or hangup).
But lpuart_start_rx_dma() dereferences tty without any check.

Found by Linux Driver Verification project (linuxtesting.org).
