Russell King 68ac64cd3f [SERIAL] Clean up serial locking when obtaining a reference to a port ...

The locking for the uart_port is over complicated, and can be
simplified if we introduce a flag to indicate that a port is "dead"
and will be removed.

This also helps the validator because it removes a case of non-nested
unlock ordering.
