Subject: [PATCH] serial: core: remove silly test for uart_state

The polling functions were checking for a NULL uart_state, which is
indexed from uart_driver->state. It should be always allocated and
non-NULL when the tty_driver is registered, and line should not be
larger than the tty_driver->num anyways.
