- char-mxser_new-alter-locking-in-isr.patch removed from -mm tree

[akpm@linux-foundation.org]

The patch titled
     Char: mxser_new, alter locking in isr
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     char-mxser_new-alter-locking-in-isr.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

------------------------------------------------------
Subject: Char: mxser_new, alter locking in isr
From: Jiri Slaby <jirislaby@gmail.com>

Avoid oopsing when stress-testing open/close -- port->tty is NULL sometimes,
but is expected to be non-NULL, since dereferencing.  Receive/transmit chars
iff ASYNC_CLOSING is not set and ASYNC_INITIALIZED is set.  Thanks Sergei for
pointing this out and testing.
