The recursive locking happens when restoring the initial line discipline:

	ioctl(serial_fd, TIOCSETD, &ldisc_save);

If I remove the restore, and let close() do the ldisc tear down I get a 
circular lockdep warning:

Doing the hangup asynchronously fixes both cases for me (tested on 5.2):

What am I missing ?
