Subject: USB: console: fix uninitialised ldisc semaphore

commit d269d4434c72ed0da3a9b1230c30da82c4918c63 upstream.

The USB console currently allocates a temporary fake tty which is used
to pass terminal settings to the underlying serial driver.

The tty struct is not fully initialised, something which can lead to a
lockdep warning (or worse) if a serial driver tries to acquire a
line-discipline reference:

	usbserial: USB Serial support registered for pl2303
	pl2303 1-2.1:1.0: pl2303 converter detected
	usb 1-2.1: pl2303 converter now attached to ttyUSB0
	INFO: trying to register non-static key.
	the code is fine but needs lockdep annotation.
	turning off the locking correctness validator.
