>From the fix description:

"Certain ttys operations (pty_unix98_ops) lack tiocmget() and tiocmset()
functions which are called by the certain HCI UART protocols (hci_ath,
hci_bcm, hci_intel, hci_mrvl, hci_qca) via hci_uart_set_flow_control()
or directly. This leads to an execution at NULL and can be triggered by
an unprivileged user. Fix this by adding a check for the missing tty
operations to the protocols which use them."

Since the fix required the serdev patch for it to make its checks, I have
included that commit for Xenial as well.

Disco was a clean cherry pick.
