Subject: [PATCH v1 02/16] serial: max3100: Update uart_driver_registered on driver removal

The removal of the last MAX3100 device triggers the removal of
the driver. However, code doesn't update the respective global
variable and after insmod — rmmod — insmod cycle the kernel
oopses:

  max3100 spi-PRP0001:01: max3100_probe: adding port 0
  BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000408
  ...
  RIP: 0010:serial_core_register_port+0xa0/0x840
  ...
   max3100_probe+0x1b6/0x280 [max3100]
   spi_probe+0x8d/0xb0

Update the actual state so next time UART driver will be registered
again.

Fixes: 7831d56b0a35 ("tty: MAX3100")
