serial: core: shut down initialized port on removal

When a serial port configured as a console is opened and subsequently
closed, tty_port_shutdown() skips invoking port->ops->shutdown() because
port->console is true. As a result, tty_port_initialized() remains true
and the port's interrupt handler stays registered in the irq subsystem.

If the underlying device is later unbound or removed (e.g. via sysfs
driver unbind or device hot-unplug), serial_core_remove_one_port()
unregisters the console, frees uport->name via kfree(), and tears down
the port without shutting it down or freeing its IRQ. Consequently, the
irqaction descriptor remains registered in genirq with action->name
pointing to freed memory.

This triggers a use-after-free read whenever genirq accesses action->name,
such as when reading /proc/interrupts:

  BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in string+0x476/0x570
  Call Trace:
   string+0x476/0x570
   vsnprintf+0x422/0x1300
   seq_printf+0x...
   show_interrupts+...

Fix this by acquiring port->mutex in serial_core_remove_one_port() after
console unregistration, clearing port->console under the mutex to prevent
data races with concurrent tty_port_shutdown(), and invoking
uart_shutdown(NULL, state) if the port remains initialized. This ensures
that port->ops->shutdown() is called and the IRQ is freed before
kfree(uport->name).
