While rebinding a uart device in a loop I noticed we may see a tx related
race on uart_remove_one_port():
uart_write from n_tty_write
n_tty_write from file_tty_write.constprop.0
file_tty_write.constprop.0 from vfs_write
vfs_write from ksys_write
ksys_write from ret_fast_syscall
Let's disallow tx on port->UPF_DEAD. This flag gets set before we start
tearing down the port in uart_remove_one_port().
