Subject: [PATCH] USB: quatech2: fix use-after-free in TIOCMIWAIT

commit 69f87f40d2b98e8b4ab82a121fd2bd584690b887 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.
