Subject: [PATCH v2] USB: serial: ftdi_sio: Fix atomicity violation in get_serial_info()

Our static checker found a bug where set_serial_info() uses a mutex, but
get_serial_info() does not. Fortunately, the impact of this is relatively
minor. It doesn't cause a crash or any other serious issues. However, if a
race condition occurs between set_serial_info() and get_serial_info(),
there is a chance that the data returned by get_serial_info() will be
inconsistent.

V2:
Revised the description, placed the reference link below "---".
Used the correct patch prefix.
Thanks Johan Hovold for helpful suggestion.
