Subject: [PATCH] serial: 8250: Reinit port_id when adding back serial8250_isa_devs

After fixing the serial core port device to use port->port_id instead of
port->line, unloading a hardware specific 8250 port driver started
producing an error for "sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename".

This is happening as we are wrongly initializing port->port_id to zero
when adding back serial8250_isa_devs instances, and the serial8250:0.0
sysfs entry may already exist. For serial8250 devices, we typically have
multiple devices mapped to a single driver instance. For the
serial8250_isa_devs instances, the port->port_id is the same as port->line.

Let's fix the issue by re-initializing port_id when adding back the
serial8250_isa_devs instances in serial8250_unregister_port().

Fixes: d962de6ae51f ("serial: core: Fix serial core port id to not use port->line")
