Subject: [PATCH] usb: gadget: u_serial: Add null pointer check in gs_start_io

If gs_close has cleared port->port.tty and gs_start_io is called
afterwards, then the function tty_wakeup will attempt to access the value
of the pointer port->port.tty which will cause a null pointer
dereference error.

To avoid this, add a null pointer check to gs_start_io before attempting
to access the value of the pointer port->port.tty.
