I encountered the following kernel panic. The cause of this problem was
NULL pointer access in check_modem_status() in 8250.c. I confirmed this
problem is fixed by the attached patch, but I don't know this is the
correct fix.

Fix the possible NULL pointer access in check_modem_status() in 8250.c. The
check_modem_status() would access 'info' member of uart_port structure, but it
is not initialized before uart_open() is called. The check_modem_status() can
be called through /proc/tty/driver/serial before uart_open() is called.
