serial: protect uart_port_dtr_rts() in uart_shutdown() too
JIRA: https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-63838 CVE: CVE-2024-50058 commit 602baba Author: Jiri Slaby (SUSE) <jirislaby@kernel.org> Date: Mon Aug 5 12:20:35 2024 +0200 serial: protect uart_port_dtr_rts() in uart_shutdown() too Commit af224ca (serial: core: Prevent unsafe uart port access, part 3) added few uport == NULL checks. It added one to uart_shutdown(), so the commit assumes, uport can be NULL in there. But right after that protection, there is an unprotected "uart_port_dtr_rts(uport, false);" call. That is invoked only if HUPCL is set, so I assume that is the reason why we do not see lots of these reports. Or it cannot be NULL at this point at all for some reason :P. Until the above is investigated, stay on the safe side and move this dereference to the if too. I got this inconsistency from Coverity under CID 1585130. Thanks.
