I don't know. If there were an oversight in condition of lines 852-858,
uart_startup() might be called due to "goto check_and_exit;" without
hitting security_locked_down(LOCKDOWN_TIOCSSERIAL) check.

846: old_flags = uport->flags;
847: new_flags = (__force upf_t)new_info->flags;
848: old_custom_divisor = uport->custom_divisor;
849:
850: if (!capable(CAP_SYS_ADMIN)) {
851: retval = -EPERM;
852: if (change_irq || change_port ||
853: (new_info->baud_base != uport->uartclk / 16) ||
854: (close_delay != port->close_delay) ||
855: (closing_wait != port->closing_wait) ||
856: (new_info->xmit_fifo_size &&
857: new_info->xmit_fifo_size != uport->fifosize) ||
858: (((new_flags ^ old_flags) & ~UPF_USR_MASK) != 0))
859: goto exit;
860: uport->flags = ((uport->flags & ~UPF_USR_MASK) |
861: (new_flags & UPF_USR_MASK));
862: uport->custom_divisor = new_info->custom_divisor;
863: goto check_and_exit;
864: }
865:
866: retval = security_locked_down(LOCKDOWN_TIOCSSERIAL);
867: if (retval && (change_irq || change_port))
868: goto exit;

But I came think that "BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference in
mem_serial_out" is a real kernel bug which should be fixed. It seems that crash
occurs only when "struct serial_struct"->iomem_base == NULL, and EBUSY is
returned otherwise. That is, some sanity check is wrong.
