Subject: [PATCH v2 1/6] USB: serial: cp210x: fix control-characters error handling

In the unlikely event that setting the software flow-control characters
fails the other flow-control settings should still be updated (just like
all other terminal settings).

Move out the error message printed by the set_chars() helper to make it
more obvious that this is intentional.
