Bluetooth: hci_qca: Do not write to the serial port after it is closed

hci_uart_close() closes the serdev port if HCI_QUIRK_NON_PERSISTENT_SETUP
is set (for example, for the WCN399x family). A failed hci_dev_open_sync()
following a successful qca_setup() calls hdev->close() but not
hdev->shutdown(), so the port is closed while power->vregs_on is left true.
qca_serdev_remove() then passes its power->vregs_on test and calls
qca_power_off(), which writes to the closed port unconditionally.

Seen on a WCN3988 by unbinding the driver after a controller failure. The
trace below is from a 7.0.0 based kernel, where qca_power_off() was still
named qca_power_shutdown():

Check HCI_UART_PROTO_READY, which hci_uart_close() clears in the same place
it closes the port, before writing to it. The regulator disable is left
unconditional so the controller is still powered down.

The dangling serport->tty that turns this into a use-after-free is
addressed in a separate patch.
