Subject: [PATCH 5.12 018/677] tty: mxser: fix TIOCSSERIAL permission check

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

commit b91cfb2573aeb5ab426fc3c35bcfe9e0d2a7ecbc upstream.

Changing the port type and closing_wait parameter are privileged
operations so make sure to return -EPERM if a regular user tries to
change them.

Note that the closing_wait parameter would not actually have been
changed but the return value did not indicate that.
