Fix oops on close of hot-unplugged FTDI serial converter
Commit c45d6320 ("fix reference counting of ftdi_private") stopped
ftdi_sio_port_remove() from directly freeing the port-private data, with
the intention if the port was still open, it would be freed when
ftdi_close() is eventually called and releases the last refcount on the
structure.
That's all very well, but ftdi_sio_port_remove() still contains a call
to usb_set_serial_port_data(port, NULL) -- so by the time we get to
ftdi_close() for the port which was unplugged, it _still_ oopses on
dereferencing that NULL pointer, as it did before (and does in 2.6.29).
The fix is just not to clear the private data in ftdi_sio_port_remove().
Then the refcount is properly reduced to zero when the final kref_put()
happens in ftdi_close().
Remove a bogus comment too, while we're at it. And stop doing things
inside "if (priv)" -- it must _always_ be there.
Based loosely on an earlier patch by Daniel Mack, and suggestions by
Alan Stern.
