Subject: [PATCH] USB: oti6858: fix use-after-free in TIOCMIWAIT

commit 8edfdab37157d2683e51b8be5d3d5697f66a9f7b upstream.

Use the port wait queue and make sure to check the serial disconnected
flag before accessing private port data after waking up.

This is is needed as the private port data (including the wait queue
itself) can be gone when waking up after a disconnect.
