Subject: [PATCH 4.14 004/164] serdev: ttyport: fix NULL-deref on hangup

4.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Johan Hovold <johan@...nel.org>

commit 8bcd4e6a8decac251d55c4377e2e67f052777ce0 upstream.

Make sure to use a properly refcounted tty_struct in write_wake up to
avoid dereferencing a NULL-pointer when a port is being hung up.

Fixes: bed35c6dfa6a ("serdev: add a tty port controller driver")
